242: Fluoride in our water isn’t as safe or effective as we’ve been told. I sat down with functional dentist Dr. Staci Whitman to explore its toxic origins, health risks like dental fluorosis and neurological issues, and why fluoride levels are so hard to regulate. We also dive into the real drivers of dental health—like diet and processed foods—plus how to remove fluoride from your water and advocate for safer policies. Topics Discussed:  What are the health risks associated with fluoride in drinking water? How does fluoride in water impact dental health and IQ levels? Why is it difficult to regulate fluoride levels in public water systems? What role does diet and processed food play in dental health? How can you remove fluoride from your drinking water and advocate for safer policies?
