Utah To Become First State To Ban Fluoride In Drinking Water
March 17th, 2025Via: Cowboy State Daily:
Utah is set to become the first U.S. state to ban fluoride in public water systems, while also making it easier for residents to obtain fluoride supplements if they choose to ingest this chemical element known for fighting tooth decay.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox announced his intention to sign legislation that would prohibit the addition of fluoride to municipal water supplies. The new law will impact two of the state’s largest counties — Davis and Salt Lake — which stand out as the only two places where fluoride is added to public drinking water.
While Wyoming hasn’t passed a statewide ban, some cities and towns have enacted their own bans, barring the addition of fluoride in drinking water.
