This is what sugar does to your teeth!

In the 1930's a nutritionist doctor duuude named Weston Price went all over the world documenting people's diets and the effect on dental health. He found that pre-advent of the modern diet(white refined sugar, some flour) that people were MUCH healthier. And in cultures that did not know a tooth brush, but did not have a modern diet. Tooth decay was almost unheard of.

That one is self-explanatory.

This one begs a little more explanation. These brothers are twins, identical in every way save one. The one on the right had marmalade on his toast in the morning, and refined white sugar in his tea. These two dietary differences produced vastly different chompers. Both consumed a diet of potatoes, organ meats and coarse grains(the basic diet of the Hebrides). Only difference was sugar.



Sugar fucks witcho teeth bruh. Stop drinking monsters and red bulls, it's killing you.

yeah , most of the effects are super minimal, i agree. but the uncontrollable dosage and unconsensual administration of it still sorta creeps me out. since fluoridation has come into practice, tooth decay levels have gone down, yes. but not necessarily as a result of this 60 year old method. it has more to do with modern dental care and fluoridated toothpaste more than the water. since fluoride works topically to help fight tooth decay, once you swallow the water, most of the fluoride is processed by the body but some works systemically and comes back to your teeth in your saliva (in miniscule doses)

the other main thing is, they say fluoride is naturally occuring in water, which is true. calcium fluoride is in natural ground water. but the fluorides they use in fluoridation are mainly silicofluorides, a byproduct of the phosphate fertilizer industry, and an industrial grade hazardous waste product. These wastes contain a number of toxic contaminants including lead, arsenic, cadmium and even some radioactive isotopes (literally, Uranium).

Disposing of this waste can cost up to $1.40 PER GALLON! So they put it in the water and it gets diluted into drinking water. Its in small amounts so our bodies can handle it, but still...

I know im typing a lot more here than I originally planned but the fluoride in water also can strip lead from pipe fittings and bring that into drinking water.

There just seems to be a lot going on with the whole fluoride issue that goes under the table. im not trying to fear-monger or anything, this is just what I've gathered from both sides of the debate.
