Utah banned fluoridated water:
water with 0.7 grams of fluoride for every 1,000,000 grams of water.
The claim? It’s harmful.
The reality? It isn’t ⬇️
An adult would need to consume 357 LITERS of that water A DAY to have a possible risk of adverse effects from fluoride.

The fluoride fights are a decades-old cultural war America can’t quit
The fluoride wars go back to the 1940s, when opponents called it a conflict over civil rights, not public health.
