Question #1 - Brush Before or After ()[edit]

Hi, I've been looking for this, haven't found an answer. Some say that brushing teeth before breakfast is a must, because bacteria accumulates in the mouth during sleep, and you would swallow them, if you ate breakfast. I find it hard to believe, but i have not found any evidence to suggest either way. Would appreciate an opinion! - Olav Kokovkin Estonia

  • Name That Logical Fallacy

What logical fallacy is committed when A causes B, B is observed, then a claim is made that A is true ignoring any other possible causes for B? - Dale Freya Brisbane Australia

Science or Fiction ()[edit]

Item #1: A study finds that children raised in a punitive environment where they are physically punished tell lies more often and convincingly. Item #2: New research finds that international ranking in chess strongly correlates with the number of hours practiced, regardless of other factors. Item #3: Researchers find evidence that, prior to 750 million years ago, the earth's oceans were highly sulfidic - essentially poisonous to multicellular animals and acting as a barrier to their evolution.
