One of the down-sides of eating a diet full of wonderfully healthy polyphenol-rich foods like blueberries and pomegranates and cacao, is that my teeth seem to pick up stains like nobody's business!

Funny when the good stuff for us causes undesirable effects. A product of our modern day view of beauty. At one time in history, those with decayed teeth were seen as more desirable. Apparently sugar was only afforded to the rich and their teeth paid the price but society saw this as beautiful 🧐

Wow, I'd never heard of this before! I guess it's analogous to fatness being considered attractive in times and places where most people were/are too poor to become overweight.

Thanks Dr Jessica! Have a friend asking me about root canals. Do you have a post on this? My trust in mainstream medicine and dentistry are gone forever. I'm back to work as a nurse, since mandates ended. Would rather be a plumber
