DeSantis signs bill banning fluoride additives in Florida public water: ‘Hydrate, not medicate’

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed SB 700 into law Tuesday, eliminating the ability of local governments to add fluoride or other medical additives to the state’s public water supply, a move cheered by supporters of medical freedom and health transparency.

"Jamming fluoride in the water supply … is essentially a forced medication," DeSantis said during a news conference in Tallahassee. "At the end of the day, we should all agree that people deserve informed consent."
