During a news conference, DeSantis said that it is "forced medication when they're jamming fluoride into your water supply."

MIAMI — Gov. Ron DeSantis announced during a press conference in Miami Tuesday afternoon that he will sign SB 700, a Florida bill that will stop the practice of adding fluoride in the state's water supply.

Florida is poised to become the second state to ban fluoride in public drinking water, over the concerns of dentists and public health advocates who say the mineral is a safe, effective way to protect people of all ages from developing cavities.
