A Texas city with a population of more than 100,000 moved to stop adding fluoride to its drinking water after a federal judge last week ordered the U.S. Environmental Protection Administration to address the compound’s potential risks to children’s neurodevelopment.
A news release issued by the City of Abilene, located in central Texas, said the decision to “temporarily suspend the fluoridation of its public water supply” was made in response to the judge’s ruling, noting that the ruling could force the EPA to change its recommendations on adding fluoride.
