More like "there are pros and cons but there doesn't have to be a big political fight about it".

The "big political fight" here is that one out of fifty US states changed its mind, to be clear.

  • I'm not in the US but doesn't that downplay it a bit? Hasn't this been a contentious topic for some time? It's not like no one's been talking about it and Utah suddenly decided out of the blue.

      No, not really. There are a couple municipalities (Portland, OR, e.g.) that have famously not fluoridated their water forever, but for the most part this is not something most places argue about. UT is an exception.

    • recently they managed to bring this to a court, and the judge was convinced by the evidence, and ruled that water fluoridation is harmful.

      downplayed? you judge.
