Utah becomes the first state to ban fluoride in public
drinking water

Utah has become the first state to ban fluoride in public
drinking water, over opposition from dentists and national health
organizations who warn the move will lead to medical problems
and disproportionately affect low-income communities.

Republican Gov. Spencer Cox signed legislation late
Thursday that bars cities and communities from deciding whether
to add the mineral to their water systems.

Fluoride strengthens teeth and reduces cavities by replacing
minerals lost during normal wear and tear, according to the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
