💨 Abstract

Utah has become the first state to ban fluoride from public drinking water, defying advice from health organizations and dentists. The ban, signed by Republican Governor Spencer Cox, will go into effect on May 7, and has been criticized as showing 'wanton disregard' for public health. The American Dental Association notes that cavities are the most common childhood disease and fluoride helps reduce them by strengthening teeth.
