Manatee County commissioners have agreed to further discussion on Commissioner Amanda Ballard's bid to remove fluoride from the county's drinking water. Manatee County officials will consider putting a stop to the county’s decades-long practice of adding fluoride to drinking water.

In Buffalo, New York, city officials recently brought fluoride back online following a class action lawsuit from residents. The suit was filed after an investigative reporter found that the city had not been adding fluoride to its water for nine years, unbeknownst to residents.
