Big Bash: Cricket WAG and wife of Ben Laughlin makes shock claims about tap water and skin cancer - Daily Mail

Cricket WAG Laura Laughlin raised eyebrows this week after making a string of false alternative health claims on Instagram.

The 37-year-old, who is married to Big Bash League player Ben Laughlin, shared conspiratorial posts about geoengineering and claimed the Australian sun doesn't cause skin cancer.

On Tuesday, Laura shared a post from Vienna-based nutrition scientist Rubio Fuerte in which he claimed that '60 per cent of bottled water in the U.S. is overpriced tap water in endocrine-disrupting plastic bottles.'

Adding her own commentary, the WAG wrote that 'our tap water is loaded with fluoride which binds to iodine and draws it out of your body making you iodine deficient.

'The Australian sun didn't cause your skin cancer - it's your lack of iodine and you have too much fluoride in our system.'
