    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.

        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!

            If an all-knowing creator didn’t want humans to eat fruit from a specific tree, he shouldn’t have grown that tree in the only garden he had humans in.

          Cane and Abel tells us the gods don’t like vegetable farmers, that want meat

          Meat doesn’t damage your teeth

          Incidentally the damage from sugar is fermentation - it makes carbonic acid (the stuff that makes soda fizzy) which is a weaker acid than citric

          Citrus didn’t make it to Europe quickly - it came from China

          Oranges don’t exist naturally, was the point I was making. Theyre a hybrid, derived at least partly from pomelo.

            You are right, it’s just that in Spanish a “pomelo” is a grapefruit, and I was unaware of the whole rabbit hole that is the hybridwtion of the pomelo, mandarin, citrus and all that. I deleted my old comment because I was just confused.

              No worries, I don’t know all the details and looking more deeply, it looks to be more complicated than I was remembering too.
