In this episode of Tap’d In, hosts Jordan and Lana take a global look at water fluoridation, inspired by a recent BBC Future article. While fluoridation remains common in the U.S. for its dental health benefits, many countries have opted out—choosing alternatives like fluoridated salt or milk, or relying on naturally occurring fluoride levels. The episode explores the health concerns, cultural differences, and public resistance that shape each nation’s approach. Jordan and Lana discuss why some governments are pulling back, and what this international perspective means for future public health decisions in the U.S.
