Israel is currently invading Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria.
But you wouldn't know because the Western Media never uses the word invasion and always pretends Israel is 'defending' itself.
The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has revealed plans to replace its current system of paying tuition fees directly to tertiary institutions with a digital token-based payment system. https://t.co/AURHRTtDcq
Wild Smiles Stay White Without Brushing – Blame the Menu!
———————————————
Humans brush daily because our modern diet is the real culprit. Processed foods, refined sugars, starches, and acidic drinks (soda, juice, wine) feed harmful bacteria that form plaque within hours. This plaque produces acids that attack enamel, leading to decay and gum disease if not removed regularly. Brushing disrupts this cycle and keeps bacteria in check.
Animals in the wild rarely face this problem. They eat raw, fibrous foods and chew vigorously on bones, sticks, bark, and grass. These natural abrasives mechanically scrub teeth clean during every meal—nature’s built-in toothbrush. Their diets contain almost no refined sugars or acids, so plaque and decay rarely build up.
Staining tells the same story. Human teeth pick up extrinsic stains from coffee, tea, red wine, berries, curry, and tobacco. These chromogens bind to enamel or plaque. Even daily brushing removes surface debris but cannot fully prevent embedded stains or the yellowing that occurs as enamel thins with age (revealing darker dentin underneath). Animals avoid these staining foods entirely, and constant chewing provides a gentle polishing effect.
Shorter wild lifespans also help—teeth simply outlast most animals before serious issues develop. In short, our longer lives and processed diets created the need for daily brushing and occasional whitening. Nature gave animals a different menu and lifestyle instead.#MeeTwitter #MedEd #MedX @IhabFathiSulima@ajaykraina@sowmiyasid
My dentist friend was asked a fascinating question: "Why do humans have to brush every day, and why do our teeth still stain despite it, while animals never have to brush and their teeth are still white?"
BREAKING: Ukrainian drones have struck Russia's Omsk Oil Refinery, the country's largest and most valuable refinery, in the first successful strike on the facility in over 4 years of war, occurring ~2,500km from the frontline and damaging numerous oil processing towers which are now left burning.
The Omsk refinery processes 420,000 barrels per day or 160 million barrels a year, accounting for ~8% of Russia's total oil refining capacity.
