- Comment: This draft is written from the viewpoint of the organization, focusing on what the organization says about itself. Corporate notability or organization notability is based on what independent reliable sources have written about the subject.Not every organization, and not every organization with 501(c)(3) status (or its equivalent in other countries) is notable, and this draft does not establish organizational notability.

Fluoride Action Network (FAN) is an American advocacy group that opposes water fluoridation.[1] Founded in 2000 by Paul Connett, FAN aims to end water fluoridation worldwide.
Court Case
[edit]FAN was a plaintiff in the court case Food and Water Watch et al. v. United States Environmental Protection Agency et al. In his Sept. 25, 2024 ruling at the conclusion of that lawsuit, Judge Chen wrote that water fluoridation poses an, "unreasonable risk of reduced IQ in children...a risk sufficient to require the EPA to engage with a regulatory response...One thing the EPA cannot do, however, in the face of this Court's finding, is to ignore that risk."[2]
