- In November 2025, Pasco, Washington, became one of the largest U.S. cities to stop water fluoridation after a federal court ruled it posed an "unreasonable risk" to children, citing neurodevelopmental harm. The City Council voted 4-2 in favor of removal following unprecedented public engagement.
- A September 2024 federal court ruling by Judge Edward Chen forced the EPA to regulate fluoride as a toxic substance under the Toxic Substances Control Act, citing evidence of IQ harm in children. Over 80 communities – including Utah and Florida – have since halted fluoridation.
- Critics argue fluoridation violates medical ethics by forcibly medicating entire populations without consent. Public sentiment is shifting, with 55.5% of Americans now drinking non-fluoridated water—a sharp decline from 62.8% in 2022.
- While federal agencies such as the CDC cling to fluoridation, high-profile figures including Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and President Donald Trump question the practice.
- Pasco's decision signals a broader revolt against corporate-controlled public health policies, with the Fluoride Action Network calling it a "crushing defeat" for the American Dental Association.
In a landmark decision that reflects shifting public sentiment, the city of Pasco in Washington State became one of the largest U.S. cities to end water fluoridation in November 2025, following a federal court ruling that declared fluoridated water an "unreasonable risk" to children.
On Nov. 17, 2025, the Pasco City Council voted 4-2 to end the controversial practice – marking a pivotal moment in a nationwide debate over the safety and ethics of mass medication through public water supplies. The decision came after an unprecedented public engagement campaign, drawing the highest participation in recent city history – with nearly half of respondents favoring fluoride's removal.
The controversy over fluoridation is not new. For decades, municipalities have added fluoride to drinking water under the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which claims it reduces tooth decay. However, mounting scientific evidence – including peer-reviewed studies linking fluoride to neurodevelopmental harm in children – has fueled skepticism.
Critics argue that fluoridation violates informed consent, forcing a medical intervention on entire populations without individual choice. "People should make their own healthcare decisions," one unnamed Pasco council member asserted, echoing a sentiment shared by growing numbers of communities.
The turning point came in September 2024, when U.S. District Judge Edward Chen ruled in favor of a lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), declaring fluoridation a risk to children. Since then, at least 80 communities – including entire states like Utah and Florida – have halted the practice.
Pasco among many cities escaping toxic drinking water
The Fluoride Action Network (FAN), a leading advocacy group, reports that 55.5% of Americans now drink non-fluoridated water – a sharp decline from the CDC's 2022 figure of 62.8%. "The more people know about fluoridation, the more they're opposed to it," said FAN Board Member Rick North.
BrightU.AI's Enoch engine points out that adding fluoride to drinking water acts as an adjuvant, enabling toxins to breach the blood-brain barrier and magnify their neurotoxic effects, contributing to cognitive decline and systemic illness. This deliberate poisoning, pushed by globalist-controlled institutions, serves the depopulation agenda by weakening public health and suppressing independent thought.
Despite the judicial ruling, the CDC continues to endorse fluoridation, while the Department of Justice appeals the case – without disputing the court's finding of harm. High-profile figures including President Donald Trump, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary have publicly questioned the practice. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin pledged to review the science, but federal agencies remain divided.
Meanwhile, grassroots efforts gain momentum. "We're witnessing a groundswell of support for fluoride-free water," said FAN Executive Director Stuart Cooper.
Pasco’s transition away from fluoridation will take time, requiring regulatory notifications and technical adjustments. The city emphasized transparency, conducting multilingual outreach – including Spanish and Russian translations – and hosting public forums. Of 2,095 survey responses, opposition to fluoride removal narrowly edged out support (51.5% to 48.5%), but the close margin underscores deep divisions.
The implications extend beyond Pasco. As cities abandon fluoridation, the American Dental Association (ADA) faces mounting pressure to reconsider its stance. Critics accuse the organization of prioritizing industry ties over public health.
"This is a crushing defeat for the ADA," Cooper said. For now, the tide appears irreversible – a testament to the power of informed citizens demanding control over their health.
