Florida lawmakers have passed a bill to ban fluoride from public drinking water systems, positioning the state to become the second in the nation to implement such a measure. The legislation has raised significant debate, with critics including Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava expressing concerns over the health implications for residents. As the bill heads to Governor Ron DeSantis for approval, advocates argue this move is pivotal, influenced by grassroots efforts and investigations into public health. Various cities in Florida, including Melbourne and Palm Bay, are already moving towards fluoride-free policies, indicating a growing trend across the state.
