Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Monday he is directing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to stop recommending community water fluoridation. 

Kennedy’s comments came after he joined Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin for an event in Utah, which became the first state to ban fluoride in public water systems in March.
