Utah close to fully banning fluoride in water, stripping cities’ ability to decide

Utah is poised to become the first state to fully ban fluoride in public water systems, preventing local governments from deciding on fluoride addition.
The bill has passed the legislature and is awaiting approval from Governor Spencer Cox after clearing its final hurdle.
In 2023, voters in Brigham City rejected a proposal to remove fluoride from its water supplies by a margin of more than two-to-one.
Supporters of the bill argue that adding fluoride is too costly, while some health advocates claim it helps prevent tooth decay and cavities.
