![]() Ali and His Gang vs. Mr. Tooth Decay |
Muhammad Ali and friends take on the evils of sugary snacks.
I'd heard about this record years ago, and it sounded pretty good. I finally picked up a copy the other day, and -- sweet jesus -- this thing is better than anything I could have hoped for. It could be the single best record I own. Start with Muhammad Ali spending 40 minutes discussing tooth decay. Add appearances by celebrity guest stars like Frank Sinatra and Richie Havens, a bunch of kids, and some truly wooden dialog straight out of a dental textbook. Throw in a song that doesn't make any sense. And if that isn't enough for you, top it off with narration by Howard Cosell. It was more than enough for me. A sugar high is nothing compared to what I felt listening to this treasure. One track isn't enough. You want to listen to the whole thing straight through, like I did, and you want to do it twice to catch all the details. Then you want to play it in your car. Your walkman. Your bathroom -- while brushing and flossing your teeth, of course. One thing is for sure, I'll never look at ice cream the same way again. Oh, and one more thing -- check out this amazing artwork from the back cover featuring trippy cartoon versions of Ali and the gang relaxing in Brother St. John's organic garden. Far out! |

says: Fluoride is neither a nutrient nor essential for healthy teeth. After 60 years of water fluoridation reaching 2/3 on public water supplies and virtually 100% via the food supply, tooth decay is a national "silent" epidemic - mostly in the poorer neighborhoods that usually are fluoridated. American children were never fluoride deficient. They were and still are dentist deficient. Dentists are gung ho about throwing fluoride chemicals at low-income families; but very few of them will allow them in their dental chairs. On November 9, 2006, the American Dental Association advised their dentists, but not the public, that fluoridated water is not to be added to infant formula because just a little too much fluoride permanently damages and discolors children's permanent teeth. Not surprisingly, with the spread of fluoridation across the country, tooth-damaging dental fluorosis has increased; but low-income folks have to wait for their cavities to fester and spread to enable emergency room treatment and ten times the cost of a simple filling and forget about getting treatment for elective cosmetic dentistry to cover up those fluorosed teeth.
