It’s been one month since Florida banned fluoride in its drinking water.
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill earlier this summer that outlawed water facilities from adding water quality additives such as fluoride.
Coincidentally, the day before Florida’s ban went into effect, Calgary, in Alberta, Canada, reintroduced fluoride to its water after stopping the practice 14 years prior. One of the big reasons why Calgarians voted to once again add fluoride to water was an eight-year study showing significant increases in tooth decay in second-grade children.
