Leesburg, Florida, reconsidering fluoride in water amid health risk concerns and financial implications.
Leesburg, Florida, is reconsidering its $600,000 project to add fluoride to its water supply due to concerns raised by Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who questions fluoride's benefits and highlights potential health risks like lower IQ levels in children.
Critics argue fluoride can cause neuropsychiatric effects, while supporters claim it reduces tooth decay by 25%.
The city could recoup some funding if they halt the project, but half of the cost would be wasted.
Neighboring Tavares is also considering removing fluoride from its water.
