Utah could become the first state to ban fluoride in public water
Utah could soon become the first U.S. state to ban the addition of fluoride to drinking water. On Friday, the Utah State Senate approved a bill that prohibits adding the mineral to public water systems. If signed by Governor Spencer Cox, the measure would go into effect on May 7. The governor has not publicly commented on whether he supports the bill. The passage of the Utah bill comes roughly two weeks after the confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., as health secretary. In November, Mr. Kennedy vowed that the Trump administration would “advise all U.S. systems to remove fluoride from public water.”
