Natural wax produced by the grapes, and yeast.

>>21995504
>yeast
And that's why you shouldn't wash grapes until just before you eat them. The yeast goes "Yay! It's the rainy season, time to BLOOOOOM!" but takes a bit to work itself up to that.
If the grapes stay dry, they keep pretty well for soft fruit.

never heard of that before - good to know
also that reminds me i need to buy raisins, thanks P:

>>21995486
Grapes are bad for your teeth. Eat grape tomatoes instead, they're sweet but low sugar.
>>
>>21995697
Tomatoes still have sugar and acid. Just brush your teeth. Starchy sticky foods that get stuck in your teeth are a bigger problem than fruit.
>>
>>21995486
i believe thats called smegma
>>
>>21995700
I brushed after every meal 3 times a day and still got cavities from eating fruit. Tomatoes have sugar but it's low sugar
>>
>>21995868
How do you know it was from fruit? Were you not eating things like bread, potato chips, crackers, etc.? You never had candy or soda?

Some people are more prone to cavities for various reasons even when doing everything right, and others will never get them even when doing everything wrong. It just seems unlikely that fruit specifically caused those problems with no other factors.
>>
>>21995486
Cum
>>
>>21995697
you've been posting about cavities all day
>>
>>21995868
It's because you're brushing right after your meals. You need to wait for at least a half hour or more so that your enamel has a chance to strengthen up again after eating acidic foods. If you brush too soon then you risk damaging your enamel and that can lead to more cavities.
>>
>>21995539
Ideally you're not even supposed to wash grapes, just pick them from the plant and eat it. It's covered in probiotics
>>
Yes it's pesticides and microplastics. You should stop eating fruits and vegetables altogether and stick to safer ultra processed foods.
>>
>>21995980
I dont eat candy or drink soda, no. My dentist said to avoid sugar, he didn't mention potato chips or crackers.
>>
>>21996234
I've always waited 30mins before brushing. That's not the problem.
>>
>>21996272
>he didn't mention potato chips or crackers.
He should have. Those things get mashed into your molars and even with brushing can be difficult to remove. The starch turns into sugar anyway and can be worse than eating something like fruit which may be sugary and acidic, but unless it's dried fruit is less likely to stick to your teeth in the same way and it washes away more easily.
>>
>>21996284
I think a professional dentist knows better than you.
>>
>>21996290
There are plenty of professional dentists who will say the same thing I'm saying. I didn't just make it up out of nowhere. "Professional" does not mean you know everything and never make mistakes.

>You might be surprised to learn that potato chips and white bread can be just as damaging as candy. These starchy foods break down into simple sugars in your mouth, creating an environment where cavities thrive. The longer these particles stick to your teeth, the higher the risk of decay.
>>
>>21996290
My dentist has said what this anon is saying. Is your dentist an old person?
>>
>>21996315
No
>>
>>21996290
>he has never been on Dr Rabbit's Bright Smiles World Tour
>>
>>21996294
So what I'm gathering is that it's healthy to eat sugary food as long as you brush your teeth afterwards?
>>
>>21996525
No the actual answer is much more complicated and it has to do with ph balance of the body and stored sugars causing bad bacteria/yeast overgrowth

The answer is below a certain threshold of blood sugar level sugar is fine above a certain level it’s nearly toxic as it throws your system further and further out of balance

Sugar in moderation

anyone else notice how retards can only think in extremes?

>>21996234
But I don't like the dirty feeling in my mouth after finishing a meal.

>My dentist said
And this is why you should never engage with normies. They have deep set beliefs that they will lecture people about like they're experts
>>21995697
but when you press them, you find out that their only basis for their belief is some authority figure telling them something years ago.
>>
>>21996525
If that sugary food is fresh fruit, then yes probably. If it's candy and dry fruit and cookies, then no.
>>
>>21995697
This poster works for big Brassica. He doesn't want you to know that grapes are do everything leafy greens do.
>>
>>21996662
A dentist is an expert.

Dentists aren't authority figures.

Do you not understand what words mean? It's common knowledge sugar is bad for your teeth.
>>
>>21996722
Except leafy greens don't damage your teeth
>>
>>21996758
>It's common knowledge sugar is bad for your teeth.
That poster didn't say sugar isn't bad for your teeth. But acting like you can't eat fruit and getting defensive and resisting when someone says starchy foods can be even worse, yet you're not acknowledging that just because your dentist didn't tell you, it means there's a lapse in your logic.
>>
>>21995980
I just got my first cavity at 43. I'm so bummed.
>>
>>21996780
when are you going to get your second one?
>>
>>21996771
If it was worse than bread the dentist would've told me, that's not a lapse in logic
>>
>>21996771
I mean if bread was worse than fruit*
>>
>>21996847
>>21996848
Medical professionals make mistakes all the time and it's probably easier to tell someone to avoid sugar than to avoid starchy things. The lapse in logic is holding on so hard to your dentist saying avoid sugar while ignoring other dentists saying starchy things can be worse than fresh fruit.

Sugar is an issue but it's more of an issue with things that get stuck in your teeth which means fresh fruit is just not as risky and avoiding most fruit because of the sugar content might do more harm than good since eating fruit is associated with so many health benefits. You can also find dentists saying tomatoes can be bad for your teeth because of the acid but it's not recommended to stop eating tomatoes. You just want to limit things with carbs that get stuck in your teeth more easily and make sure you clean your teeth really well after eating them.
>>
>>21996861
I'm not ignoring anything. No one provided evidence their Dentist told them that.

All food is bad for your teeth. Eating anything changes the ph level of your teeth. My point was high sugar foods areespecially harmful above other foods.

Any health benefits fruit offers can be acquired from vegetables.
>>
>>21996878
>I'm not ignoring anything. No one provided evidence their Dentist told them that.
You didn't provide evidence your dentist only told you to avoid sugar. I posted a link up above about starchy foods potentially being just as bad as candy. You can easily do a little research and find information saying that fresh fruit isn't as much of a risk as cookies and candy, or that tomatoes are acidic which isn't great for your teeth either.

>Any health benefits fruit offers can be acquired from vegetables.
So you give up fruit for your teeth but then probably keep eating starchy things and all you've done is given up healthy foods for no real benefit.
>>
>>21995982
now you're speaking op's language
>>
>>21996902
I didn't need to, I only stated that was the source for my belief not that it should be the source for yours.

I never said fresh fruit was worse than candy or cookies.

It's also bad for your mind to get a sugar rush and then crash and get a headache, so there is benefit beyond oral health
>>
>>21996988
>sugar rush and then crash and get a headache
That's diabetes. It doesn't happen to people otherwise.
>>
>>21997001
Also starches again can impact blood sugar more than sugars because it breaks down into pure glucose which is more rapidly absorbed into blood. The top foods on most GI indices will put refined starches at the top.

How often do you breathe through your mouth
