Lawmakers in Florida approved a bill to prohibit certain additives in drinking water, effectively banning fluoride, and the measure now goes to Gov. Ron DeSantis for a signature. If it’s finalized, Florida will become the second state to ban fluoride in municipal drinking water.

The state’s push to ban fluoride from drinking water began shortly after the Medical Freedom movement grew during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The bill does not explicitly mention fluoride, but includes language restricting the use of certain additives in water supplies. The bill now awaits Governor Ron DeSantis’ signature.
