    Tooth be Told

    Did you know the bacteria in someone else's mouth could be quietly destroying your teeth right now? ...We looked into it. Welcome to Valid Source? — The podcast where we investigate the internet myths, viral claims, and trending gossip you've been thinking about but haven't had time to research. We're not experts. We're just two friends willing to do the extra digging. This episode: Harley gets a full life story from the guy who hit her car (and somehow it leads to cavities), we both show up to the dentist on the same day at the same time without planning it, because of course we did, we break down whether cavities are actually contagious (spoiler: yes, and you're going to think twice about sharing that soda), we go deep on fluoride and what it might be doing to our brains, we debunk the root canal cancer documentary that Netflix quietly pulled, and Harley finds out live on air that removing your mercury fillings might actually make things worse. Valid Source? verdict on dentistry: more complicated than we thought, occasionally corrupt, and apparently your mouth is everyone else's business too. ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode discusses mercury exposure, fluoride health concerns, and predatory dental corporation practices. If you've been the victim of deceptive dental billing, you can file a complaint with your state's Attorney General office. 📖Full episode breakdown + sources 🌐 https://linktr.ee/validsourcepod 📧 validsourcepod@gmail.com 📞 (720) 593-1668 Opinions expressed are solely those of the hosts and do not reflect any affiliated companies, employers, or sponsors.

    Seams like Every Generation has a Style

    Did you know the clothes you're wearing right now could have gotten you arrested 100 years ago? ...We looked into it. Welcome to Valid Source? — The podcast where we investigate the internet myths, viral claims, and trending gossip you've been thinking about but haven't had time to research. We're not experts. We're just two friends willing to do the extra digging. This episode: Harley hits us with a time-travel thought experiment before we even say hello, Ashley's grandma has strong opinions about lipstick, we break down how fashion trends actually trickle down from runway to clearance rack (the Devil Wears Prada speech was RIGHT), we get into the Kardashian beauty evolution, and then Ashley learns about the CROWN Act live on air. Because of course she does. Valid Source? verdict on fashion: deeply personal, heavily influenced, and apparently never just your choice. ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode briefly discusses eating disorders and body image standards in the context of '90s fashion and the modeling industry. 🔹 Alliance for Eating Disorders: 1-866-662-1235 📖Full episode breakdown + sources 🛍️Ashley's curl care routine (Crown Act protected) 🌐https://linktr.ee/validsourcepod 📧 validsourcepod@gmail.com 📞 (720) 593-1668 Opinions expressed are solely those of the hosts and do not reflect any affiliated companies, employers, or sponsors.
