He's President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for health secretary, and he told NPR that one of his priorities is to get the country to stop fluoridating the water. So...

For example, NPR has reported that Calgary in Canada removed fluoride from its water supply. And then after data came back showing that dental cavities rose significantly, they're now reintroducing it.
