Florida becomes second U.S. state to ban fluoride from its drinking water [Yes!] | 15 May 2026 | Florida has become the second state in the U.S. to ban [toxic] fluoride from its tap water in a move that is likely to appease RFK Jr. Governor Ron DeSantis signed the bill into law today, which doesn't explicitly mention fluoride but effectively bans the mineral by preventing "the use of certain additives in a water system." The ban is set to go into force from July 1. It makes Florida the second state in the U.S. to ban fluoride in drinking water, after Utah also passed the measure at the end of March. Their ban went into effect last week. HHS Secretary RFK Jr has also called for all states to ban fluoride, saying it makes "no sense to have it in our water supply" and calling the mineral an "industrial waste."
