Fluoride: The Good and the Bad + Insulin for the Perfect Murder?
Listen now
Description
Hello Poison friends! I hope all of you had a wonderful week! We are bringing y'all two requested poison topics and learning how too much of a good thing can be deadly. That being said, don't eat too much candy this weekend, spooky friends. Fluoride has been a controversial topic as it is included in the water supply in many places to prevent dental problems. Lets discuss how it does this and at what point ingesting fluoride can be a problem. Also, insulin is a very important hormone in your body and some need to have it injected because of Diabetes. Let's break down what it does, how Diabetes (types 1 & 2) work, why some people think insulin can be used as the perfect murder weapon, and why this is not always the case. I said in this episode I would include a few references for you to check out so here we are: Fluoride by US state-- https://nccd.cdc.gov/doh_mwf/default/default.aspx Entire book featuring murders by insulin if you are into the subject and want more stories: Insulin Murders by Vincent Marks and Caroline Richmond. As always, we are so thankful for our listeners and supporters!
