Bite & Smile In The Face Of The Sugar Conspiracy

Do you know why humanity has so much trouble with its teeth and gums? It is a sweet betrayal that has engendered centuries of pain. Take a moment to feel the sharpest strike of the exposed nerve of a dying tooth inside your mouth. Tooth ache is such an inadequate term for this throbbing agony. You cannot even bloody eat; it has stripped that basic pleasure away. A drink of water can bring on waves of pain that last for too f****** long. We all have to bite and smile in the face of the sugar conspiracy.
The Biting Truth About Sugar Causing Tooth Decay
A dentist who works out of fancy dental clinics in London told it straight when interviewed recently for an article about dental care. He encapsulated the crux of the matter and fingered the culprit in no uncertain terms. This toff dentist spelled out for us.
“The only reason we have tooth decay is because of sugar.”
If you have a look at teeth in prehistoric skulls, you find virtually no decay. It is all about the introduction of refined sugars into the human diet. As soon as that happened there was an explosion in decay rates. It is not the sugar directly causing tooth decay but the bacteria it feeds in the mouth. This releases lots of acid and the rest, they say, is history. Plaque, infection, holes in teeth and bloody pain.
Dentists Know That Sugar Is The Key Dietary Factor In Decay
People snack on sugar laden foodstuffs constantly. Think about it, all those sweet soft drinks, chocolates, candy bars, and heaps of stuff you don’t even realise has sugar in it. Our teeth and gums are not designed to be eating this stuff morning, noon and night – and all those in-between times. Our primate teeth and jaws cannot cope, which is why our teeth do not last the distance. I mean, I was thinking about this the other day in the midst of a bad tooth ache. Why is this part of our biology so crap? It is because we weren’t made to consume so much inappropriate food. Bite and smile in the face of the sugar conspiracy. Our teeth get holes in them, get rotten and break off, eventually they have to be pulled out. The alternative is root canal therapy, crowns, and artificial teeth. I hope you all have deep pockets if you go down this pathway. I mean, I have paid thousands of dollars for this kind of thing and then the crown has just broken off.
Dentists never offer you any refund for these failures. You just have to fork out more. Secretly, deep down, I reckon plenty of dentists pay homage to the sugar conspiracy. After all, it is the gift that never stops giving for their profession.
Sugar’s Role In Slavery & Exploitation
Here is a question for you. The Dutch, Portuguese, and British traders in the 16C and 17C what were their top commodities, which made their countries wealthy? Sugar, Tobacco, and Slavery – and throw some spice in there for good measure. These three evil things have been a curse upon humanity. We know how bloody awful slavery and tobacco has been for millions and millions of people. However, we are only recently realising that sugar is right up there with these perfidies’. The sweet deceit of sugar, refined sugar in our diets, may well take the cake when it comes to global pain, destruction and death. Think about the tens of millions of enslaved Indigenous Indians who were worked to death on sugar plantations in the Caribbean and elsewhere. In fact, the entire Indigenous population of the islands in the West Indies were wiped out by savage exploitation and disease. Those descendants of African slaves inhabiting the place now are not the original native population. Sugar and European greed and unconscionable behaviour committed genocide there. Sugar plantations in the Americas were similarly the scene for the vile perfidiousness of European colonists. Sugar plantations in Queensland, Australia used Aboriginal and Islander slave labour for decades and decades. Then, Indians were brought out in servitude for years and years on these sugar plantations. The white man could grow rich at the expense of the hard labour of those with darker skin. Good old sugar, hey.

Addicted To The Sweet Stuff
People could not get enough of sugar and we have all paid the price ever since. Rotten teeth and bad health, especially for poorer folk – those that could not afford a dentist. Not a lot has changed, dental care is still too pricey for large portions of the population. Medicare excludes dental, with the teeth and gums not considered to be a valued part of the human body. Banished they are, like convicts, whilst the rest of us gets free universal healthcare. It would, according to Senate costings inspired by the Greens , cost $11.6 billion per year to provide free dental care for the whole of Australia. Meanwhile, bite and smile in the face of the sugar conspiracy. Do the politicians get their cut from the sugar industry? The manufacturers of sweet, sugar laden drinks and snacks? These businesses have been making strong profits for decades, maybe centuries. Bite and smile in the face of the sugar conspiracy.
Human beings love sweet stuff. We love to drink too much alcohol, especially sweet booze drinks. Australians have a big problem with alcohol and violence against women. Drug and alcohol addictions cost the nation billions every year. Poor diet and consequent bad health cost further billions every year. Sugar lies at the heart of these problems. Think about bourbon and rum mixed with sweet cola. These are the working man’s tipples of choice. Cans of pre-mixed sweet piss heaven. Puffing away on black market tobacco ciggies with a can in hand – it’s the Australian way. The rum rebellion and the NSW Corps laid the foundations for government and police corruption that has been there ever since in some form or another. This is Australia, as the song goes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rum_Rebellion
Bite and smile in the face of the sugar conspiracy. Cannot see what is right in front of us when it’s too close. Part and parcel of the very fabric. Indigenous folk being bought off with bags of white flour and sugar, right from the earliest times. Problems with poor diet ever since. Dying young not just from hate and neglect. Poisoning the unwary with sweet deceit.
