美国食品药品管理局禁止未经批准的化物补充剂给3岁以下的儿童, FDA bans unapproved fluoride supplements for kids under 3, citing safety and efficacy concerns.

林业发展局已命令四家公司停止销售未经批准的3岁以下儿童食用氟化物补充剂,理由是安全关切、缺乏经证明的效力以及肠内微生物体可能受到干扰。 The FDA has ordered four companies to halt sales of unapproved ingestible fluoride supplements for children under 3, citing safety concerns, lack of proven effectiveness, and potential disruption to the gut microbiome. 该机构说,这些产品从未获得批准,也没有在防止婴儿的洞穴方面提供明显的好处。 The agency stated these products have never been approved and offer no clear benefit in preventing cavities in infants. 虽然美国牙医协会反对这一举动, 认为这些补充剂在无污染的农村地区至关重要, 但卫生与人类服务部秘书罗伯特·肯尼迪(Robert F. Kennedy Jr.)以过时的科学为由, 驳回了这项关注。 While the American Dental Association opposed the move, arguing such supplements are crucial in non-fluoridated rural areas, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dismissed the concern as based on outdated science. 林业发展局专员马蒂·马卡里强调,对幼儿来说,专题氟化物和每天用氟化物牙膏刷牙是更安全、更有效的替代办法,重申氟化物对年长儿童的益处,同时敦促对年幼的病人采取谨慎态度。 FDA Commissioner Marty Makary emphasized that topical fluoride and daily brushing with fluoride toothpaste are safer, more effective alternatives for young children, reaffirming fluoride’s benefits for older children while urging caution in very young patients.
