Officials in Florida’s Lee County voted unanimously to remove fluoride from the water supply following calls from Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo to remove it across the state. Ladapo was present at the meeting on the removal of fluoride, contending that it is “insane to continue to support this,” referring to fluoride in the water supply.

“And you know who suffers the most? Well so far, it’s children and pregnant women. Those are the most sensitive populations.
