  They just didn’t evolve to consume so much sugar.

  Bro, eating oranges puts our tooth enamel in a weakened state. If we were designed, it was by an idiot.

    Oranges do not naturally have that much sugar.

      It’s not the sugar, but the acid that our teeth can’t handle.

      The fact that healthy foods can’t be consumed without a risk of harm is not an intelligent design.

      I mean, even apples (i.e. “Garden of Eden”) can promote the growth of plaque!

        I mean, biblically speaking we weren’t supposed to eat those apples.

        Oranges don’t exist naturally, was the point I was making.

  Actually a bigger contributor is underdeveloped jaws due to no longer requiring to chew from.a very young age for nutritional requirements.

    Why would stronger Jaws prevent teeth decay?

      Why would not having developmentally impaired mouth including teeth, muscle, and bone be beneficial for longterm resilience?

      Idk dude, figure it out. Some people, I swear.

  Half our expected lifetime was our expected lifetime back when they evolved. Teeth are doing quite well, all things considered.
