There are some foods you'd never expect to cause tooth decay...it's not just the sweet stuff that you've warned your kids about. The bacteria in your mouth loves sugars and starches...when you don't brush your teeth after eating, plaque utilizes those sugars and starches to create acids that eat away (pardon the pun) at the tooth enamel. As these acids can work for 20 minutes or longer after you've eaten, your dental health also depends on WHEN you're eating. Foods consumed as part of a meal are not as dangerous, as more saliva is released, helping to wash food from the mouth. If you're avoiding cookies as a bedtime snack, remember that fruits, milk, bread, cereals and vegetables can all cause decay so, if you're going for that final treat of the day, be sure to brush your teeth afterwards. Floss your teeth and brush at least twice daily, with a toothpaste containing fluoride. Visit your dentist for regular check-ups and cleanings. |

TEXAS TIDBITS
This may come as no surprise to our Winter Texans, but did you know that the state dish of Texas is chili? According to Texas' Web site, President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "chili concocted outside of Texas is a weak, apologetic imitation of the real thing." Real chili lovers should check out the, "The Ladies' State Championship Chili Cook-off," held in Luckenbach, Texas, and the International Chili Cook-off, held in the West Texas town of Terlingua. Every year, the state of Texas opens its heart to winter visitors, and the name Winter Texan is worn like a badge of honour by thousands. It's no wonder, then, that the state motto of "Friendship" has been used and demonstrated for 70 years. |

BEATS HAVING EGG ON YOUR FACE
Can't remember if an egg is fresh or hard-boiled? Just spin the egg. If it wobbles, it's raw. If it spins easily, it's hard-boiled. A fresh egg will sink in water, a stale one will float. |
