    Oranges and other citrus fruit are also significantly acidic, which is hard on teef. So try not to go overboard, or at least rinse your mouth with water afterwards if you eat citrus regularly.

    By the same token, do not rinse your mouth with water after brushing your teeth. This gives more of the toothpaste's fluoride a chance to adhere, from my understanding.

    Thats whats known as anecdotal evidence

    Ive never met anyone with ebola yet WHO just declared a global emergency

    Apparently, most people getting scurvy these days are autistic and have strong food selection preferences so they just dont end up eating anything with vitamin c
