Acidic foods with a pH over 7.5 are an ideal breeding ground for bacteria?
PH values greater than 7 are alkaline, not acidic. Anything outside the PH range of 4.6-7.5 are generally considered safe. A food with a PH of 7.5 is safe to leave at room temperature, but you would want to be fairly certain it's not any lower. Especially if you plan to serve it.

What rots your teeth?
Bacteria and acids rot teeth. Amphetamine-based drugs can speed up decay because they dry out your mouth, depleting your teeth of the valuable saliva and giving bacteria a fantastic breeding ground. I have heard that methamphetamine addicts eat a lot of sweets and candy, which adds to the problem. So far this is the worst I've ever seen of tooth decay, and the quickest as well.

No longer than an hour or so if left out in room temp. Bacteria can start to grow on foods in an hour. Our stomach acids can kill some of these bacteria but not all. Foods should be kept out of the danger zone which is above 45 degrees and below 145 degrees. In this zone foods are perfect for bacteria.
