This decision reflects growing awareness of fluoride’s health risks and sets a precedent for other communities across the U.S. pic.twitter.com/S9QV03AGcA — Sayer Ji (@sayerjigmi) December 5, 2024 Per WBBH: Residents are deeply divided over the issue, with some praising the decision as a victory for personal freedom and others fearful over the potential public health impact, specifically to teeth. “Fluoride in water was never about personal choice — it was about community health. This decision will disproportionately hurt low-income families who can’t afford regular dental care,” said Naples resident Linda Torres, a retired dentist. Jill Kiley, a Marco Island resident, pushed back on such arguments, framing the debate as part of a broader fight for individual rights. “We started this movement after COVID showed us how easily freedoms can be stripped away. Our water should be free from unnecessary chemicals,” Kiley said. Naples joins a growing list of cities in Florida to reject fluoride.

WATCH: FOX 13 Tampa Bay reports: The debate over whether fluoride poses a health hazard when ingested goes beyond the brain, with critics arguing it could also cause dental and bone diseases. Supporters of fluoridation, though, consider it one of the greatest public health achievements of the last century. Dr. Ladapo’s stance on the issue is in line with that of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. Kennedy has said he would recommend removing fluoride from drinking water nationwide.

Independent Senator Bernie Sanders recently sung the praises of Trump-allies Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., claiming to be willing to work together with the pair on key issues fueling America’s “unhealthy society” and the military industrial complex’s “waste and fraud.”

The US representatives put a woman on the Supreme Court who can’t tell us what a woman is. We are now feeling the impacts of their decision.
