Halloween 2022 – Sweet Treat and Trick
It always amazes me how in the USA that Halloween is celebrated for the whole of the month of October, more than Easter and Christmas. “Only in America”!
Why Sweet Treat and Trick? I have this interesting conversation from time to time about sugar’s role in people’s diets.
The trick is, sugar is not a treat anymore. It’s everywhere. In bread rolls, supposed savoury foods, sauces and so on.
The other trick of sugar, is its addictive. So much so that sugar disguises its self in broad daylight. Yes, its cryptic, and yet it’s not, especially when you tell patients with numerous holes that they need to cut down on sugar…
- Do lollies count? – Yes
- Oh, what about chocolate? – Yes
- Coke cola? – Ah yes
- Cordial? … guess what I am going say?
- Honey? – Yes – decay causing germs love sticky sugary foods
- Even Red Bull drinks? – The trifecta – Sugar, Acid and Caffeine – super charges those microbes and soften the teeth all at the same time – excellent!
Some people are a bit sad, however, others say, (I kid you not-) “I live without it!”
In my mind I am thinking – bye, bye teeth, hello diabetes.
Life is too short; why not make in longer and healthier with a happy mouth, (with some help from Seymour Dental of course).
