Utah Becomes First US State to Ban Fluoride in Public Drinking Water

In a historic move, Utah has become the first state in the United States to ban the addition of fluoride to public drinking water. Governor Cox signed the fluoridation ban into law, a decision that aligns with the MAHA movement advocating for the prohibition of fluoride in water systems. This decision has sparked debates among residents, including students at Utah Tech University, and has raised concerns from health professionals about the implications for public health. While some argue that this legislation is a step forward in personal choice, others warn of the potential risks associated with lack of fluoride in dental health.
