Florida became the second state in the country after Utah to ban local governments from adding fluoride to their public water systems.
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the bill at Simpson Lakes in Dade City – about 38 miles northeast of Tampa – on Thursday. The law is set to go into effect on July 1.
“We certainly now, in our society in 2025, we have the ability to deliver fluoride through toothpaste and all these other things,” DeSantis said at an event for the signing of the bill. “You don’t gotta force it and take away people’s choices. But the whole crux of the issue is you should be able to make decisions on the basis of informed consent.”
“Forcing this in the water supply is trying to take that away from people who may want to make a different decision rather than to have this in water,” DeSantis added.
“You don’t gotta force it and take away people’s choices.”
Like, I don’t know, maybe abortion desantis YOU FUCKING MORON.
It owns the libs, therefore, it’s good, obviously.

Most European countries including Italy, France, Finland, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, Scotland, Austria, Poland, Hungary and Switzerland do not fluoridate water.
Out of a population of about three-quarters of a billion, under 14 million people (approximately 2%) in Europe receive artificially-fluoridated water. Those people are in the UK (5,797,000), Republic of Ireland (4,780,000), Spain (4,250,000), and Serbia (300,000).[27]
Don’t the have high levels of fluoride in toothpaste?
Possibly but they are not drinking their toothpaste.
And that’s the difference. Fluoride is good for our teeth. But the US doesn’t have high fluoride toothpaste. These places do.
So put it in the toothpaste?
No can do. Americans eat and swallow too much of toothpaste.
This is the country that has to let people know to not drink gasoline. Or that coffee is hot.
He’s taking the fluoride out of fluorida
How do I invest in Florida dentistry?
For the purity of all our natural bodily fluids.
Dental plan … no more fluoridated water
If we are fighting chemicals and letting our water flow pure, add a ban to forever chemicals or PFAs which literally causes cancer and hold them ( 3M, DU Pont) responsible for it
Hey now, you can choose to live in a place without that in your water. /s
The argument DeSantis is making is stupid. You can already buy bottles water with no fluoride in it. How does that not satisfy his argument?
Clown car shit
And when are we going to fix the real problem with our water. Too much hydrogen.
They just need to invest in H2Flow.
You mean not enough lead?
I recently found out my municipality does not add flouride to most of our water, because it’s naturally flouridated enough already to meet the recommended amount.
Apparently concrete water tanks, the type on a lot of rural houses, are naturally fluoridated. My kids have really good teeth which was a surprise given the number of fillings I had as a child.
Dumbasses
Good. Let all of them suffer.
Sorry, not sorry, I don’t give a crap anymore about US citizens. Nothing personal, but you guys let this happen, you guys gave the world trump TWICE. He said he’d fuck all of us over, you laughed, even though you already have seen him do that before, and now you’re all leopard faced.
If you’re an American, then it sucks to be you but you’re getting all that you deserve, enjoy your rotting teeth that you can’t remove because dentists and other healthcare will become unaffordable soon. I don’t care, go suffer in silence
Nothing personal
Sure sounds like it’s personal. But if all of us are to blame then please enlighten us, let’s hear about how you would have prevented Trump from coming to power a second time if you were American.
Soon? It already is
I don’t know the best way of bringing this up, but the Americans complaining about the damage of Trump aren’t the ones who voted for him. They don’t deserve to be doomed to a fate they didn’t choose.
Once again proving Republicans are Fuuuucking stupid.
