Florida moves to ban fluoride from public drinking water
Florida may soon join a small but growing list of places turning away from fluoridated water. A new bill passed by state lawmakers would prohibit the addition of “water quality additives” like fluoride to public water supplies, a practice long credited by health experts with reducing tooth decay. The legislation now awaits Gov. Ron DeSantis’ signature. If signed, it would take effect July 1, making Florida the second state to enact such a ban, despite decades of scientific consensus on fluoride’s safety and benefits. Alana Wise with has the full story; the North Dakota legislature defeated a similar bill earlier in this year’s session.
