Ron DeSantis just delivered the biggest blow yet to government control over what goes in your body.
The Florida Governor isn’t backing down from the medical establishment.
And Ron DeSantis dropped this jaw-dropping bombshell about fluoride that left establishment elites shell-shocked.
Florida becomes second state to ban fluoride additives in public water
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill Tuesday eliminating local governments’ ability to add fluoride to the state’s public water supply, dealing a major blow to decades of unquestioned medical mandates.
“It’s forced medication when they’re jamming fluoride into your water supply,” DeSantis declared during a news conference in Miami. “At the end of the day, we should all agree that people deserve informed consent.”
The measure was included as part of the broader Florida Farm Bill (SB 700) and makes Florida the second state after Utah to ban the practice.
Florida Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson, who joined DeSantis at the signing, didn’t mince words about what this means for Floridians.
“Today, Florida took a bold step and declared that drinking water will hydrate, not medicate,” Simpson stated. “No Floridian should be medicated without their consent, plain and simple.”
State Senator Keith Truenow put it even more bluntly.
“When it gets hot in the Sunshine State, no one clamors for a cold glass of fluoride,” he said.
DeSantis exposes the truth about public health elites
DeSantis tied the move directly to growing public distrust of government health authorities, especially after their disastrous COVID policies that devastated lives and livelihoods.
“People are just much more skeptical when these elites are trying to jam anything down our throats,” DeSantis said. “The burden is on them to prove why this should be forced on people. And it really shouldn’t be.”
Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo exposed the medical establishment’s stubborn refusal to look at the evidence, comparing them to the Peanuts character Linus with his security blanket.
“We have professionals, doctors, dentists, public health leaders who are holding on to fluoridation like that blanket,” Ladapo said. “It doesn’t matter what the evidence shows — whatever the studies show about potential harms in children and pregnant women and who knows about the rest of us — they’re just holding on to it.”
“It’s really cute when you’re a kid, but you can’t hold onto that blanket when you’re a grown-up,” Ladapo added.
Trump’s HHS Secretary leading the charge nationwide
The Florida law aligns with the national “Make America Healthy Again” movement championed by President Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Kennedy said during a Cabinet meeting last week that he is working with EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin to change nationwide recommendations for adding fluoride to public drinking water.
In November, Ladapo had already recommended that cities and communities statewide stop fluoridating their drinking water because of the “neuropsychiatric risk” associated with exposure to the chemical compound.
Multiple Florida communities had started ending water fluoridation on their own, including Miami-Dade County, though Democrat Mayor Levine Cava tried to veto the decision last month.
County commissioners overrode her veto the same day DeSantis signed the statewide ban.
DeSantis takes on even bigger threats to Florida
The Governor isn’t stopping with fluoride.
DeSantis also plans to sign legislation banning weather modification and geoengineering activities in Florida.
“Florida is not a testing ground for geoengineering,” DeSantis wrote on X. “The Free State of Florida means freedom from governments or private actors unilaterally applying chemicals or geoengineering to people or public spaces.”
Florida is not a testing ground for geoengineering. We already do not permit this type of activity, but we are going the next step to ensure it does not happen in this state. As soon as it reaches my desk, I will be signing the recently passed Senate Bill 56 to prohibit the… pic.twitter.com/x67fOPIEiF

Senator Ileana Garcia, who sponsored the bill, warned about the dangers of these unnatural interventions.
“Introducing foreign substances into our atmosphere can have unintended and far-reaching effects on our weather patterns, potentially leading up to unpredictable droughts, floods, and disruption to agricultural cycles,” Garcia explained.
Critics claim these measures pander to conspiracy theories, but DeSantis pushed back forcefully by emphasizing that Floridians deserve protection from unauthorized medical and environmental interventions.
“The Free State of Florida” continues to lead the nation in pushing back against government overreach, putting choice back in the hands of citizens rather than bureaucrats.
