Florida to Ban Water Fluoridation
Florida is on track to become the second state, after Utah, to ban the addition of fluoride to public water systems, with a Senate-approved bill expected to be voted on by the House soon. The movement against fluoride, supported by figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has gained traction despite fluoride’s historical role in reducing tooth decay, sparking concerns among health professionals about public health implications and political motivations behind the ban. With similar legislation emerging in other states, the opposition to fluoride is increasingly viewed as a political issue rather than a health one.
