    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
