In their latest podcast, WDDTY editors Lynne McTaggart and Bryan Hubbard explore the health risks of fluoride, especially with children. In the US, 60 per cent of homes are supplied with fluorinated water and yet a recent study found it can damage their kidneys and liver, disrupt thyroid function and, paradoxically, cause tooth decay that it's supposed to protect against.

The study also found children are especially at risk because they cannot process fluoride as effectively as an adult, and they excrete just 45 per cent of the mineral.

Continuing with the controversy surrounding fluoride, Lynne and Bryan highlight a separate study that found women who drink fluoridated water while they're pregnant could be lowering the IQ of their baby—especially if it's a boy.

Other topics covered in this episode include
