Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said he would sign a law banning the addition of fluoride to public drinking water, making his state the first in the nation to do so.

In an interview aired March 9, the Republican governor noted that half of Utah already doesn’t have fluoride added to the water, and dentists he consulted reported no “drastically different outcomes” in dental health between fluoridated and non-fluoridated counties.
