Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo became the nation's first top state health official to publicly oppose fluoride in water. Since then, more than a dozen other Florida communities have ended fluoridation. Supporters of the ban say it should be about personal choice, The Post reported.

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.
