Utah has become the first state to ban fluoride in municipal drinking water, a decision attributed to the governor's claim of minimal difference in dental health outcomes between fluoridated and non-fluoridated water. This decision raises concerns, particularly for the state’s high percentage of children, as it contradicts established research supporting fluoride's benefits in preventing tooth decay. The state's health department confirmed a lack of data to support the governor's claims, heightening doubts about the motivations behind the ban amid national debates around public health and personal freedom.
