In this episode of Tap’d In, hosts Jordan and Lana unpack Utah’s controversial decision to become the first state to ban fluoride from public drinking water. Signed into law by Governor Spencer Cox, the move has ignited a heated debate across the country. Public health experts and dental organizations warn that the ban could increase cavities, especially among low-income communities, while supporters argue it’s about personal freedom and cutting costs. Jordan and Lana explore both sides of the issue, the science behind fluoride, and what this decision means for the future of public health policy in the U.S.
