Utah Becomes the First State to Ban Fluoride in Public Drinking Water
In a groundbreaking move, Utah has passed legislation banning the addition of fluoride to public drinking water, making it the first state in the nation to implement such a ban. Governor Cox signed the bill into law, which has garnered attention and divided opinion among health experts and advocates. Proponents of the ban argue for the reduction of fluoride exposure, while some health experts express concern over potential health implications. This landmark decision follows similar advocacy efforts from public figures like RFK Jr., highlighting growing debates over community water fluoridation.
