More cities, counties start to remove fluoride from public drinking water

The Miami-Dade County Commission voted 8-2 to discontinue fluoridating the community water supply, following arguments from Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo advocating for the change.
Commissioner Roberto Gonzalez sponsored the measure, while commissioners Eileen Higgins and Raquel Regalado opposed it, voicing concerns about one-sided information.
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava will decide on approving or vetoing the Commission's decision, requiring nine votes to override a potential veto.
The new legislation also includes a $150,000 public campaign to educate residents on oral hygiene and alternative fluoride sources.
