Michigan’s Fluoride Fight: Denture Cream Wields Power, RFK Jr. Smiles
In St. Clair County, Michigan, where 67% of voters packed a 2024 Trump fan club and fluoride wars erupt like Civilization VI multiplayer, the local health guru Dr. Remington Nevin penned a three-page fluoride-fatwa, warning fluoride is a 'plausible developmental neurotoxicant.' Despite fluoridation's 25% cavity crash since Michigan pioneered it in 1945, Nevin’s memo presses to ban it county-wide, potentially bottlenecking the Great Lakes Water Authority serving 40% of Michiganders. Public meetings turned soap operas of Fixodent-wielding dudes—proud 'unfluoridated children' with all their 'uppers and lowers'—and accusations of grandstanding linked to RFK Jr., who calls fluoride 'industrial waste' despite being America’s Health Czar. Meanwhile, local health director Liz King sits firmly on fluoride’s fence, demanding a public health emergency to swipe fluoride’s badge. All the while, the EPA and CDC sip tea reviewing fluoride science under Kennedy’s watchful eye. Michigan's thumb is officially poked.
