    God: I’ll give them teeth … without any instructions on how to maintain them.

      And put a whole bunch of fleshy bits right next to them, and even though they’ll always be in the same relative positions you’ll bite the fleshy bits just frequently enough to wonder why the teeth and fleshy bits are in such close proximity and how after X years of existence this is still happening.

      We evolved in a world with little sugar, few starchy plants. 15,000 years ago everyone (except those where sugar cane grew) had excellent teeth

      In the fossil record bad teeth come at the same time as bread, though it took sugar (especially in fizzy drinks) to make everyone fat and diabetic

      I eat carnivore and haven’t brushed my teeth in five years and have not had any tooth aches

        The other white substance that you should watch for that our ancient ancestors never had to deal with is …

        SALT

        Like too much sugar … consuming a substance that was rare to our ancient ancestors is bad for your health … you might have excellent teeth, but you might keel over with a heart attack or a stroke.
