Canine you believe it... It's a dental-themed episode of The Last Tuesday Project!
In this month's Last Tuesday podcast we finally answer the question that everyone's been asking… are our minds being controlled by our drinking water? Shaun manages to get Hayley, Jane and Alex to do yet more work for his Masters' by asking if we should be fluoridating our water supply. What appears to be a simple question turns into a rabbit hole which contains science, ethics and folic acid.
