Michigan Ditches Fluoride: Teeth vs. Freestyle Freedom Fight
In a plot twist juicier than a soap opera, Grayling, Michigan—a former CDC fluoride award winner in 2023—voted unanimously in May 2025 to kill its decades-long fluoride water program and returned six unopened barrels like a dentist rejecting candy. City Manager Erich Podjaske justified this hydration rebellion as a 'personal choice' manifesto, leaving fluoride lovers to fend for themselves at the dentist’s office or toothpaste aisle. Meanwhile, RFK Jr., now HHS Secretary and part-time fluoride villain, calls the stuff industrial waste, while Trump-era CDC divisions swirl in chaos. Florida, Utah, and 21 states hop on the fluoride pause train, creating a toothpaste-scented cultural civil war with tooth decay as the terrifying sequel.

Grayling kicked fluoride to the curb with zero notice, six unopened barrels, and a rallying cry for 'personal choice'—because apparently, dentists weren't already niche enough villains in America’s ongoing public health soap opera.
Imagine celebrating a CDC award, then ghosting fluoride like a bad tinder date and returning six barrels unopened. Grayling’s water decided to quit while it was behind—and so did their teeth.
RFK Jr. calls fluoride 'industrial waste' and governors ban it state by state. Soon, water might be just plain water, and tooth decay the new American pastime. Cheers to backward progress!
