    My dentist disagrees. He recommends moderation, but says it is not harmful, much less dangerous.

    I do it myself, about once a year, and I don’t have any issues at all.

    My dentist said I could do it more often if I felt I needed to, 3-4 times a year, and my enamel would be fine, as long as I followed the directions.

    I tried googling it and found no source that corroborated your statement. (I did find a Mayo Clinic and NYTimes article that both support my dentist’s claim.)

    I’m willing to listen if you can provide an article, but your “objectively wrong” comment seems a little, well, objectively wrong.



  • I still think in words and images, but there is no voice.

    Something else that came up in previous discussions. I remember emotional response more than specific things. For example, my wife can remember what we wore, what we ate, and other specifics, of a date we had years ago. I barely remember even the location, but I can easily recall that I was happy about the date, but there was some mild frustration early on, something about the restaurant, but then feeling better about it later.

    I say this and my wife says, “Oh yeah, we were annoyed because we had reservations but still had to wait 20 minutes, but then we were given an appetizer.”

    However, before my comments, she couldn’t recall if we liked the place or not.

    I’ll remember if I liked someone, but not why or even their name.
