Oklahoma withdraws state support for water fluoridation

By lauraharris // 2025-07-04

• Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt directed the state's Health Department to stop recommending fluoride in public drinking water, ending a decades-long state endorsement.
• Stitt signed Executive Order 2025-13 on June 26, citing public concern, evolving science and informed consent as reasons to cease all state-level promotion of fluoridation.
• The order requires health and environmental agencies to review all state fluoridation policies and submit a report with recommendations within 90 days.
• Stitt, joined by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., launched the Make Oklahoma Healthy Again (MOHA) campaign, modeled after President Donald Trump and Kennedy's national MAHA initiative.
• MOHA establishes an advisory council to review artificial dyes and food additives in public programs and encourages reforms toward healthier, less-processed food options in schools and state facilities.

The Oklahoma State Department of Health has officially rescinded its long-standing recommendation that fluoride be added to public drinking water systems, following a directive from Gov. Kevin Stitt. Previously, the department's official website stated it "supports community water fluoridation and recognizes the practice as safe, cost-effective and beneficial to all who drink and use the water." That page has since been taken down and now displays an error message. (Related: Don't drink the water: The dark side of water fluoridation.) In line with this, Stitt announced the reversal of the fluoride recommendation during a press conference on June 26. "I'm instructing the Oklahoma Department of Health to stop recommending fluoride in our water," said Stitt during the press conference. "Cities and water districts, they can still choose to do what they want, based on their constituents and the science, but it's no longer going to be a recommendation from the state health department." Stitt also issued Executive Order 2025-13 that same day, citing "growing public concern, evolving scientific research and the fundamental principle of informed consent" as key reasons for reevaluating the state's endorsement of fluoridation. The order instructs both health and environmental agencies to "immediately cease any state-level promotion or endorsement" of the practice. In addition, the order mandates a full review of all state policies related to water fluoridation. State officials have 90 days to deliver a report to the governor and the state legislature. The report must document current fluoridation practices across Oklahoma and include "concrete recommendations and a timeline" for moving away from any policies that promote or require fluoridation.

Stitt launches Make Oklahoma Healthy Again campaign – modeled after MAHA initiative

That same day, Stitt, along with Department of Human and Health Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., also launched the Make Oklahoma Healthy Again (MOHA) campaign, modeled after President Donald Trump and Kennedy's Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) initiative. "For far too long, we have settled for food that has made us sicker as a nation," said Stitt. "In Oklahoma, we're choosing common sense, medical freedom and personal responsibility. President Trump and Secretary Kennedy have led the charge nationally, I'm grateful for their support as we Make Oklahoma Healthy Again." The order, which is also part of the EO 2025-13, established a MOHA advisory council that will be tasked with examining the health impacts of artificial dyes and additives in foods served in schools and state programs. The order also calls on state agencies to review nutritional standards and explore policy changes that promote cleaner, less-processed food options for Oklahoma families. "Thank you, Governor Stitt, for your visionary leadership to Make Oklahoma Healthy Again," Kennedy said. "You've led with action – bringing healthy food to public schools and prisons, eliminating fluoride from drinking water and submitting a waiver to remove soda, candy and other junk food from SNAP. These bold steps are helping protect and restore the health of all Oklahomans." More stories like this can be found at CleanWater.news.
