#3 Yes, one would think that #1 & #2. Spiegel wrote of a mini ice age that caused cannibalism in Germany.
Food was so scarce they ate the young and weak and dug up fresh graves to consume contents. The plaque then fell upon them. Tibet has long been a thorn in the side of China. They think of people as blades of grass. Many other ares of the world are in bad shape but no plaque. I don't trust the Chinese in power. Like Saddam they may well be experimenting. Yea, and maybe I had too much coffee.

#4 The plaque then fell upon them.

Proper brushing and flossing will keep plaque under control, along with regular visits to the dentist. I have never heard of it being fatal though.

#5 I have never heard of it being fatal though.

I recently read that the bacteria that cause gingivitis, and eventually periodontitis, can enter the bloodstream and precipitate blood clots that lead to heart attack and stroke. So it can be fatal, eventually.

#6 especially with the onset of Hellfireitis, as in the equally non-flossing areas on Pashtunistan

#7 #5 TW yes, as I understand in Europe they require you have your teeth in order before heart surgery. Here in USA after heart surgery when you go to the Dentist they are requesting you take an antibiotic before dental work.
