HB81, or Fluoride Amendments by Rep. Stephanie Gricius, R-Eagle Mountain, passed the House Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment Committee on a 10-3 vote on Thursday, with the majority of those people testifying in favor of individual choice rather than mass “medication” of drinking water

Paulhus has spent the last 39 years fighting to get fluoride removed from Newburyport's drinking water. She writes letters to local newspapers, speaks up at community meetings, and personally, uses non-fluoridated dental products because she believes fluoride is poison.

A bill that would prohibit fluoridation in Utah’s water system has passed through committee and will advance to a vote on the House floor.
