No.

Apples are a mildly acidic fruit. Because of their slightly astringent quality, they are an ideal food for cleansing and brightening teeth. The acidic nature of an apple is not enough to make a person's teeth pearly white. The acid needs the help of the fiber-rich flesh of the apple. Crunchy foods, including apples, celery, and carrots, act like mini toothbrushes when they are chewed. The crunchy bits actually help scrub away stubborn stains. This does not happen in a day but will take a while. The cleansing effect may be noticeable, even if it's very slight, particularly if the apple eater is a coffee drinker who hadn't been eating apples every day to begin with

Do teeth rot if you keep them?

Yes, teeth can still deteriorate even if they are not in the mouth. This can be due to exposure to bacteria, plaque, and other factors that contribute to tooth decay. Proper care should be taken to preserve teeth if they are removed.


The old saying one rotten apple spoils the whole barrel is due to chemical signaling in plants via?

ethylene gas. When one apple starts to rot, it releases ethylene gas which accelerates the ripening process in other apples nearby, causing them to rot as well. This chemical signaling mechanism allows for coordination of fruit ripening in plants.


How long does it take for meth to rot teeth?

The effects of meth on teeth can be seen within just a few months of regular use. Meth can cause a rapid decay of teeth and overall oral health due to its acidic nature and impact on saliva production. Regular meth use can lead to "meth mouth" characterized by severe tooth decay and gum disease.


Does an apple rot faster than a tomato?

The color of the skin of an apple is not a clue as to its keeping quality. Keeping quality seems to be dependent upon when they mature. How soon an apple will rot will depend on its variety, when it was harvested and how it has been handled and stored. Although all apples do best refrigerated, some varieties require it more than others. See Related Links.


What is the difference between white rot and brown rot?

White rot fungi are able to break down lignin along with cellulose and hemicellulose in wood, resulting in white-colored decay. Brown rot fungi primarily degrade cellulose and hemicellulose in wood, while leaving behind lignin, resulting in a brown-colored decay. White rot fungi are more effective at decomposing lignin compared to brown rot fungi.
