Before sugar there was little tooth decay. Humanity make it 1.3999 million years without sugar. Look at sugar's contribution to late onset diabetes. I was talking to a person who ended up having a kidney transplant because of his type two diabetes. VA heath care pied. It cost us over $2,000,000.

Before sugar there was little tooth decay??????????? People used to die from an abscessed tooth. Today we have lots of sugar, but no one is dying from bad teeth.
