Big Bash: Cricket WAG and wife of Ben Laughlin make shocking claims about tap water and skin cancer
Cricket WAG makes controversial claim that drinking tap water causes skin cancer: ‘It’s not the Australian sun’
Cricket WAG Laura Laughlin raised her eyebrows this week after making a series of controversial alternative health claims on Instagram.
The 37-year-old, who is married to Big Bash League player Ben Laughlin, shared reports about geoengineering, claiming that the Australian sun does not cause skin cancer.
On Tuesday, Laura shared a post from Vienna-based food scientist Rubio Fuerte claiming that “60 percent of bottled water in the US is overpriced tap water in endocrine-disrupting plastic bottles.”
The WAG added its own comment, writing that ‘our tap water is full of fluoride which binds to iodine and pulls it out of your body, leaving 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.”

According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, UVB rays can cause sunburn and play a role in the development of skin cancer, while UVA rays lead to skin damage, aging and wrinkles.
In Australia, melanoma is the most common cancer for people aged 20 to 39, with an Australian dying every six hours.
Australians are advised to wear a broad spectrum SPF sunscreen of 30 or higher and reapply every two hours when outside.
In separate social media posts, Laughlin also denounced the supplement industry.
“My mom was recently away from Europe for a few months and Dad recorded that she took over 900 tablets,” Laughlin wrote.
‘I am speechless. This supplement industry has gone crazy.”
In another post, she shared her own health advice, encouraging her followers to get “sunlight” and practice “grounding.”

In another post, she shared her own health advice and encouraged her followers to get “sunlight” and practice “grounding.”
Proponents argue that going barefoot outside, known as “grounding,” means that negatively charged electrons in the soil can neutralize positive particles in our bodies that threaten our health. However, this has little scientific support.
She then claimed that the sun was purposely blocked due to geoengineering, also known as climate engineering, a term used for both removing carbon dioxide and controlling solar radiation.
“I just ran into a decentralized doctor on the beach, and he told me that the rain today is because of geoengineering and that they are purposely blocking the sun so we can’t absorb vitamin D,” she wrote.
Laughlin also urged her followers not to consume green powders, calling them “harmful” and urging people to stick to local whole foods instead.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted NSW Health for comment.
