DeSantis Bans Fl in FL
'Hydrate, not medicate'
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Tuesday he is signing legislation into law to ban fluoride in the Sunshine State's drinking water.
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.

The new law, part of the broader Florida Farm Bill, does not ban fluoride entirely.
Floridians will still be able to purchase fluoridated water from private suppliers. But it draws a firm line against the government deciding what goes in your glass without your say…
