Florida has officially become the second state in the U.S. to ban the addition of fluoride to public drinking water systems. Governor Ron DeSantis signed a sweeping bill that prohibits municipalities from fluoridating their water supply, a decision that has sparked a mix of reactions among residents and local officials. This move aligns Florida with Utah in a controversial public health shift that aims to eliminate fluoride from tap water. Proponents of the ban argue it is a matter of personal choice and individual liberty, while critics are concerned about potential impacts on dental health. The legislation also ties into broader efforts by state lawmakers to push back against what they describe as government overreach.
