Insidious Plans to Poison Hawaii Water | Fluoride Mandates

In the 2026 legislative session, Hawaii lawmakers are pushing a slate of bills that could force toxic fluoride into our public water systems under the false pretense of "public health." They’re proposals are aimed at mass-medicating the population with a known neurotoxin and endocrine disruptor. This poison would affect our vulnerable residents the most, especially children, the elderly, and those with health conditions. The state's desire to "improve" our water ignores decades of evidence showing fluoride's dangers, prioritizing outdated dental dogma over real safety.
Poison Proposals for State-Sponsored Harm
Four bills—SB488, SB2073, SB727, and SB682—represent a concerted effort to lace Hawaii's drinking water with fluoride, a chemical the state pretends is harmless despite mounting evidence to the contrary. These measures vary in scope but share a common thread: they empower or mandate the addition of this toxin without adequate safeguards, exemptions for at-risk groups, or easy ways to stop it once started. By design, they could expose millions to elevated fluoride levels, risking everything from lowered IQ in kids to disrupted thyroid function in adults. Here's a rundown of each, with their most problematic elements called out.
SB488: The Blanket Mandate Menace Forces every non-federal supplier to adjust fluoride to HHS "optimal" levels, with DOH-set testing intervals and provided training—but zero funding, sunset, or resident opt-outs. Most problematic: Sweeping scope ignores consent and health risks, dosing everyone with a systemic toxin (including formula-fed infants and kidney-impaired residents who can't excrete fluoride properly).
SB2073: The Large-System Poison Push Targets all suppliers with 1,000+ connections, mandating HHS-level fluoridation plus monitoring, sampling/reporting to DOH; DOH offers training/assistance and annual legislative reports on statewide fluoride levels. Exempts federal systems. Most problematic: Oversight normalizes chronic exposure essentially monitoring a statewide poisoning operation.
SB727: The Conditional Trap with a False Exit Requires 1,000+ connection suppliers to fluoridate per county HHS-based standards. DOH provides training, tech support, reimbursements, and annual reports. Supersedes contrary laws but "sunsets" only if every resident obtains or affirmatively rejects dental insurance at an unobtainable 100% tracking threshold. DOH tracks/reports dental coverage annually. Most problematic: Locks in indefinite fluoridation while tying toxin exposure to unrelated coverage gaps. Punishes the uninsured.
SB682: The Backdoor Enabler Bans state/county mandates for non-contamination health additives (like fluoride) but opens a loophole: If federal Safe Drinking Water Act allows mass medication, it adds "safeguards". Most problematic: Anti-mandate language leaves fluoride vulnerable to federal override. It’s a Trojan horse normalizing water as a drug delivery system.
These bills all mandate or enable a chemical assault on our bodies without true accountability. Hawaii already has low fluoridation rates for good reason. Residents know better than to trust bureaucrats with their health.
Support: HB540 The Ban on Fluoride Poisoning
On the bright side, HB540 stands as a courageous defense. This measure amends Hawaii Revised Statutes to add that, "No person or supplier of water shall introduce fluoride to a public water system." This is an outright statewide ban on adding fluoride, applying to all non-federal operators. Importantly, it preempts and voids any conflicting laws, executive orders, ordinances, regulations, or rules, nullifying sneaky attempts to fluoridate locally and statewide.
It directly confronts the dangers of fluoride, drawing on solid research that exposes this as a chemical hazardous to human health. It's a presumed neurodevelopmental toxin, especially harmful to children and vulnerable groups. The bill's preamble states that fluoride isn't the benign “cavity-fighter” it's sold as:
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' National Toxicology Program (NTP) classifies fluoride as a presumed hazard.
The National Research Council (NRC) has flagged fluoride as an endocrine disruptor that lowers thyroid function, particularly in women.
Fluoride exposure is also tied to sleep disturbances, including higher odds of sleep apnea symptoms in adolescents.
In teens, fluoride impairs kidney and liver function.
In children, fluoride is associated with lower IQ, ADHD-like behaviors, and cognitive deficits in children.
Infants that are formula-fed in fluoridated areas can exceed safe intake levels by up to 59%.
Even the CDC admits fluoride's primary benefit is topical (on the teeth's surface), not systemic (ingested).
HB540 is a lifeline against the state's fluoride fixation. By banning additions and overriding conflicts, it protects us from a poisoning of the masses. Hawaii's lawmakers are gambling our health in favor of state overreach. The opposed bills reek of corporate influence and outdated science, while HB540 offers evidence-based reasoning and thorough protections.
