'Basically forced medication': Governor Go Go Boots signs farm bill rewriting rules on water, agriculture [View all]
Florida just rewrote a large chunk of its agricultural rule book.
On May 15, Governor Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill 700 into law. The 100-plus page “Florida Farm Bill” rewires state agriculture from the faucet to the skies.
Removing fluoride from water could have health implications
The headline change of the bill is a statewide ban on adding fluoride to drinking water. The law doesn't specifically mention fluoride; rather the law bans “The use of any additives in a public water system which do not meet the definition of a water quality additive as defined in s. 403.852, or the use of any additives included primarily for health-related purposes."
DeSantis called fluoridation “forced medication on people” and said residents can add the mineral at home if they wish. Florida is only the second state to ban fluoride in drinking water; Utah outlawed it in March. But officials and medical experts are concerned about the long-term impact.
