LA Fires, Fluoride and IQ, Alcohol and Cancer

Ravi kicks off the show by reflecting on the devastating California wildfires, delving into their economic impact, the challenges state and local officials face, and the looming threat of a home insurance crisis that could reshape the state’s future. Next, Ravi sits down with New York Times reporter Roni Rabin to unpack two critical public health issues: fluoride in drinking water and alcohol consumption. They explore the latest science on fluoride’s potential impact on children’s IQ and the heated debates about fluoride in U.S. water supplies. Ravi and Roni then pivot to alcohol, examining recent conflicting reports on its health effects, the pervasive influence of industry funding on alcohol research, and how people can make informed decisions about their consumption.
