Stand For Health Freedom Was A MAHA-Aligned Group That Supported Legislation To Ban Fluoride In Drinking Water And Opposed North Carolina Legislation They Said Threatened Raw Milk Sales. “The overlap in conspiracy-driven ideas is evident in the slate of bills supported by some groups riding MAHA's popularity. MAHA Action and Stand for Health Freedom both supported legislation to ban fluoride in drinking water. Stand for Health Freedom and Weston Price both opposed a North Carolina bill they said threatened raw milk sales. Their arguments often rely on the idea of staying healthy naturally. Stand for Health Freedom, which did not respond to AP's requests for comment, told its followers, ‘Water should hydrate not medicate’ while pushing an anti-fluoride bill.” [PBS, 10/21/25]
