elliptic1@gmail.com - 10 Jul 2005 10:29 GMT Hi, I brush and floss every night but I always stay up late and want to eat again later. What can I eat that is okay to be on my teeth overnight? What about Cheerios and honey?
-Thanks

Jacob - 10 Jul 2005 17:40 GMT Wow -- why limit to just Cheerios and honey? Maybe you should eat some carmels and wash them down with Hawaiian Punch or Capri Sun? Then just before you hop into bed, take a bunch of hard candy so you'll have something to suck on while sleeping.
I can't believe that your question is serious!!

This guy is a TROLL.
BTW, where/what is UCF? Unlimited Caramel and Fudge?
FWIW, I let my kids have hard cheese after they have brushed and flossed. They read in bed before retiring and then they're hungry again. None of this Kraft sh.t... it has sugar in it and is made of radioactive plastics and Math Professors.

elliptic1@gmail.com - 11 Jul 2005 02:01 GMT SP, I am a graduate student of mathematics. I do not pretend to know about dental care. Sugar is bad for teeth, of course. Is honey the same? Knowing that sugar is bad for your teeth doesn't make a person an expert in dental care. I was hoping for an answer from a dentist.
If these foods are not good overnight, then the question was about others that do. The fact that I have to reply to these messages in this way means that my question was not read or answered intelligently, giving rise to my belief that SP is the troll here:
"Trolls generate an intelligence drain, meaning that when a troll creates havoc in a newsgroup, all discussions will become less intelligent and less useful to all other participants."
I'll seperate out the parts of my extremely complicated two-part question for SP's benefit:
Is honey as bad as sugar? What can I eat that is okay to be on my teeth overnight?
I apologize to everyone else for the repitition. The trolls are slowing down the learning process here. We should save the usenet for honest questions, and intelligent responses.

StovePipe - 11 Jul 2005 17:16 GMT > UCF Mathematics Dear UCF Mathematics person. OK. By that definition, I am a Dennist TROLL.
Answer from the Dennist TROLL: Honey is sweet because it contains sugar. So do fruits ( the ones you EAT, I mean... :-/ ). So does milk. There are differences in the chemical formula, but they are sugars all. So don't eat them before bed.
I stand by my original statement: If my kids are hungry just before going to bed after reading, I give them hard cheeses and water only. Milk and sugar content is quite low, so I will accept that. There is really nothing else short of cruciferous veggies (celery) that can be safely eaten, IMO.
In summation: no sugars, natural or added, no starches ( they are sugars only a bit more complex ) and only water or, say hot water, to drink. If not, you have to brush and floss again.
Now: could you answer my own question? What and where is UCF Mathematics?

kureforcrohns@sbcglobal.net - 11 Jul 2005 22:35 GMT "Does honey contain sugar" Do you mean refined sugar? is sugar sucrose. Does honey contain sucrose. In describing honey, what is the sugar it contains called. as Fructose, sucrose, corn syrup, etc. or is there no name for it. Don't insult the bees, I think they are a cut above all the sugars we tamper with. Where does maple syrup fit in. If you could use only one sugar, which would it be and why. Gail

kureforcrohns@sbcglobal.net - 12 Jul 2005 17:46 GMT Never thought you were anything but nice. This subject are all the things I thought I never needed to know. But curiosity is aroused. What are foods made of maltose. I know malted for milk as a good drink, barley as a good addition to soup, and I assume glucose for diabetics is made from which sugar? I can live without the answers if they are too stupid to answer.
As for anthropomorphism, what would a world be without an occasional reference to an ally. (see, the dictionary is always handy.)
Had to deliver some papers to a lawyer handling the case for a friend, was surprised when he offered a bottle of wine. Nice gesture, but he didn't have to part with it. Gail .

elliptic1@gmail.com - 11 Jul 2005 01:49 GMT Of course my question is serious. It is a good question, and it still stands. I was hoping an educated person (dentist?) would answer.
Thanks for any real responses.
-Todd UCF Mathematics
Jacob - 11 Jul 2005 14:41 GMT The "real" answer is brush your teeth after you've eaten your last food before going to bed. If you want to be technical, perhaps celery, lettuce, spinach, broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, and some other vegetables that don't really have much carbohydrate content would be ok. There is some evidence that some cheeses have somewhat of an anticaiogenic property, but most people eat cheese with crackers, and often with jelly as well.

kureforcrohns@sbcglobal.net - 12 Jul 2005 17:54 GMT "Draino is better" Does that mean cheddar cheese will clear the drains better instead.. Cleaning the drains are as much a problem as cleaning the teeth. NOTHING WORKS. Gail

The best thing to clean drains with is drain floss.
Maltose is used in generating the alcolol in bier.
Glucose is the sugar that is used by humans.
Sucrose (table sugar) is one glucose and one fructose "ensemble" (together). You eat sugar and you die a horrible diabetic and cancer induced death. I am firmly convinced that the North American diet is what ultimately killed my dear sister at 46 years of age. Did you know that statistically we are the first generation in recorded history (outside of wartime) where we die before our parents do? Our diet is killing us.

W_B - 13 Jul 2005 06:11 GMT Agreed.
Sucrose is cheap to harvest. Sugars are an additive in almost every prepared food that is on the grocery store shelves.
In the US it is mandatory that ingredients be listed, in the order of percentage, highest to lowest, on almost every food product. Check out the carb content of one soda... one small bag of chips... Here's a zinger... ketchup/catsup.
If you are truly interested, we can discuss the physiology of a carb heavy diet, and the folly of the low-fat diet.
IIRC the average sugar intake of ~1950 was 100X the intake of 1850. Before then, MI was virtually unheard of. Type II [adult onset] extremely rare.
Since sugar plays such an important part in dentistry, we may as well explore the entire physiology/pathology on all organs of the human.
>Put that chocolate bar DOWN!!!!!! Actually chocolate is good food, it's the extra added sugar that corrupts the food source.

kureforcrohns@sbcglobal.net - 13 Jul 2005 18:55 GMT Only factor in diet I think is bad is barbecuing with charcoal. Gas would be better. Do you not give your children chocolate. Hersheys seems to be a good treat. and Fannie May candies when they were here seemed to be frequented by the older set. Of course there is a difference between chocolate and chocolate flavored. I think you know chocolate must retain the cocoa butter to be called chocolate, if cocoa butter is removed and vegetable shortening is substuted, it must be labeled chocolate flavored, fudge, etc. and luck plays a big part in being well. and relaxing, even going to church or synagogue requires a moments rest. and unfortunately, sometimes treatment is botched.

Yea, though I walk over BBQ charcoals and in the shadow of better gas, I shall not pause but to give unto my offspring of yon holy chocolate. I fear not the older set, for Hershey, Fanny Mae and Cadbury art with me, and I shall toil to retain the holy cocoa butter and shun temptations visited upon me by the wretched veggie shortening beast, Toblerone. Verily, it will be given unto me to luckily and genetically relax in yon church and the synagogue, requiring but a moment of rest, sitting on the blessed electric blanket. I shall be well, and place Bosch headlamps in yon 1994 Topaz.
It shall come to pass that I, unworthy sinner that I art, will feel no fear, for I'll have the biggest cavities and the worst heart condition of ANY SUNOFA BITCH IN THE VALLEY between the church and the synagogue.

kureforcrohns@sbcglobal.net - 14 Jul 2005 17:21 GMT Not a nutritionist but some thoughts on the physiology of carbs and low fat diet. Too many carbs are fattening, are sweet potatoes carbs, don't think they are fattening. Olive oil would be a preferred oil for salads, etc? What would be wrong with a low fat diet. Would a capsule supplement of Fish oil add cholestrol to the diet. Having dessert before the meal may eliminate some of the problems of sugar adhering to the teeth. Would be interested in other thoughts as to the carb and low fat diets. There is barely an item on the store shelf without sugar, even the bread, and some of the bottled water. Sugar is every country's necessity, but I think our country has gone overboard. Bad enough are the obvious sugar laden foods, but the subtle ones are a nuisance since trying to read the ingredients is a real challenge. The price tag usually covers the ingredients. Seltzer with some unsweetened fruit juice may be a substiute for soda pop. but sugar will get us one way or another. Its just too sweet. Comments? Gail
