In last week’s episode, we traced the history of fluoridation (and the anti-fluoridation movement) to its roots in the early 20th century, but we left you wondering whether there’s anything to back up the health claims that anti-fluoridationists make.

The details matter, and don’t you worry - we’ve got plenty of nitty gritty for you to feast on.
