...preliminary study--financed by the tea industry--volunteers swished either black tea or lukewarm water in their mouth. An analysis of their saliva showed that tea inhibits the growth of tooth-decaying bacteria and reduces their tendency to form sticky clumps. In addition, tea drinkers' saliva contains less enamel-eroding acid. Does that translate into fewer cavities? Probably. In previous clinical trials, green tea was shown to prevent cavities, and these new findings lead researchers to suspect that black tea will too--as long as it's not sweetened with sugar or honey...
...this sense, Ablow’s work most resembles that of Giorgio Morandi in the 1940s and 1950s.

Like Morandi, Ablow is concerned with exploiting a pictorial brand of truth, discovering something universal in the shape of insipid junk...
...Asia as inspiration for the pieces on display and their artists' statements certainly reflect a shared intent: he is experimenting "in an attempt to see if everything can inhabit the same visual space," she calls her sculptures "collages," each one "a conglomerate of many passing ideas." Burckhardt works with enamel on wood-his paintings, all roughly the size of a sheet of notebook paper, are slick, colorful meditations somewhere between Dr. Seuss and Kandinsky. He often allows shapes in the underpainting to flicker through the top layer of images, struggling for more dimensions than his medium allows...
...discovered Costco, in a big way. He sent me two-pound cartons of Swedish fish monthly, and though I was initially possessive with the gummies, soon my entire suite was chewing on the darling little minnows--breakfast, lunch and dinner. I should have seen the cavity coming, as the enamel on my back molars had clearly worn thin: I could no longer deal with food at extreme temperatures and everything had to be served at room temp. I was bad to the bone...
