A bill to ban the use of the mineral in public water passed the Florida House 88-27. It now awaits Gov. Ron DeSantis’ signature.
Lawmakers in Florida gave final passage to a bill to ban fluoride in public water systems Tuesday, with the state House voting 88-27.
SB 700, also known as the Florida Farm Bill, doesn’t mention the word “fluoride,” but it would effectively ban the chemical compound by preventing “the use of certain additives in a water system.” The bill awaits Gov. Ron DeSantis’ signature.
If DeSantis, a Republican, signs the bill, Florida will become the second state to ban fluoride from water supplies.
Clearly this wasn’t the the part I was referring to… Why would you think I would suggest not disinfecting water when a sentence later I suggest using UV disinfection.
Yes you don’t die immediately if you drink chlorinated water like if you breathe chlorine gas. However if I had to choose between drinking chlorine treated water vs drinking UV treated water all my life this choice is easy to make.
If I had to choose between panicking over chlorinated water or spending billions of dollars to disinfect water in a less effective way…
I’d probably just let the water sit out for a while or run it through a cheap carbon filter because I’m not an idiot.
