SUMMARY: Miami-Dade County is set to vote on a proposal to remove fluoride from drinking water, a measure championed by Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo. While Ladapo argues against adding fluoride to water—citing studies linking it to developmental issues in children—advocacy groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics support fluoride for reducing tooth decay. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers fluoridation a public health achievement. The vote requires seven out of 13 commissioners to approve, but if vetoed by the county mayor, nine votes will be necessary to override. The discussion will continue in an upcoming meeting.

Morgan Rynor reports while Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo doesn’t think it should be added, groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics endorse adding fluoride to drinking water as a way to reduce tooth decay and lessen the prevalence of cavities.

Congresswoman Maria Salazar stated she would work with President Trump to ensure continued access to uncensored news for Cubans.
