“Eye on America” Segment Features ASDA President Dr. Kenton Ross
July 15, 2025 – CBS Evening News is scheduled to present a feature on Arkansas’ anti-fluoridation issues at 5:30 tonight. The network’s “Eye on America” segment will feature Dr. Kenton Ross talking about the recent legislation in Arkansas that would have overturned the state’s mandate that all water systems serving more than 5,000 customers provide fluoridation to therapeutic levels.
The ADA recently tracked multiple anti-fluoridation bills in 16 states, including Arkansas where at least 5 bills were defeated in the recent 95th General Assembly. Nearby in Oklahoma, however, the governor issued an executive order essentially stopping any state promotion of water fluoridation. Recent efforts by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. have led leaders in multiple states, including Utah and Florida, to review the use of fluoridation and its impact on health. ASDA will continue to monitor community water fluoridation (CWF) issues in Arkansas
