Miami-Dade County is poised to vote on legislation that could end the addition of fluoride to drinking water, a practice that has been in place for decades to enhance dental health. Mayor Daniella Levine Cava has not confirmed whether she will veto this legislation, although she advocates for maintaining fluoride in public water supplies. The proposal, introduced by Commissioner Roberto Gonzalez, follows presentations against fluoridation and has garnered attention amid broader discussions in Florida and across the U.S. about the safety and health implications of fluoride use.
"Ladapo called fluoridation of drinking water a 'harmful' practice that 'doesn't make sense.' This echoes concerns by several opponents who argue against its safety."
"Mayor Daniella Levine Cava has stated she supports keeping fluoride in public water supplies but has not disclosed whether she will veto legislation to ban it."
