We all know that fluoride helps kids with tooth decay and saves on costs of dental care..
But the one thing that I do not see addressed in all of this get the fluoride out of our water.. is the damage done to older citizens
If fluoride helps with lowering tooth decay.. think how removing it will affects us oldsters who can develop heart disease from the bacteria in our mouths from tooth decay and periodontal disease..
Just think about all the older folks who have moved there and how it could affect their health also..
The inflammation from decay can affect us in so many negative ways..

"Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a new law banning the addition of fluoride to public drinking water, making the state the second in the nation after Utah to adopt such a statewide prohibition. The bill, signed during a public event in Dade City, is scheduled to take effect on July 1 and will prevent local governments across the state from fluoridating their water supplies."
