Will beer rot your teeth? If so what in it will effect what part of the tooth? i.e. (sugars will increase growth of bacteria causing plaque) So what will the alcohol be metabolized by the bacteria and increase the growth rate? Can the yeast cause any harmful effects? All this is for those drunk colledge students who fall aspleep to alcohol abuse.

No. Just your liver and brain cells. Nothing so notably important as your teeth, thank god.

Mutans streptococcus - the main bacterium causing dental caries.\n# 1. The oral bacteria responsible for dental caries belong to the streptococcus mutans and lactobacilli groups of bacteria.\n# 2. These bacteria, which cause dental caries, are able to metabolize sugar, produce a destructive lactic acid, and produce a sticky dental plaque. This destructive acid dissolves the mineral structure (hydroxyapatite crystals) of teeth. If the tooth mineral continues to be lost because of acid attack, the surface of the enamel will eventually be cavitated, producing a cavity.\n# 3. The bacteria which cause caries are usually "passed on" from mother to infant, as early a 10 months of age. The danger of infecting an infant's teeth is increased if the mother already has the caries disease herself.\n# 4. Children who frequently consume refined sugar products, such as candy and soft drinks, have a high risk of developing dental caries. Sucrose, a type of sugar, is therefore an important contributor to dental caries\n# 5. The newly erupted teeth of infants are the most susceptible to caries because they are not yet fully hardened (calcified). Calcium and phosphate in the saliva help fight dental caries by gradually "maturing" the tooth enamel.\n\nFor more info, refer the links.

The high sugar content inhibits bacterial growth, and it hasn't had time to ferment enough to create appreciable alcohol content. Your daughter is most likely fine, but it's something I'd try to avoid. If she starts vomiting, that's when to worry a little bit - but I doubt this will happen.

Coffee could cause extrinsic stains on your teeth.  Also, if you use sugar in your creamer, that's just as bad as drinking pop.

Yes it's fine, they both kill bacteria.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethyl_alcohol#Other_uses

Rubbing Alcohol and move it as you add alcohol.  Watch for pus.  THAT will be a very bad sign.

well basically the yeast is a little living organism that eats up the sugar in the solution you put it in. it then excretes alcohol and CO2 gas (which is what makes bread dough rise). anyways, the yeast eventually suffocate in their own excrements and die, but i would guess that the more sugar you have, the longer the yeast will stay alive. i dont know if that helps any, but good luck!

BAD AFFECT ON PEOPLE:\n\nBloating is due to bubbles of gas causing pressure. Your body does not make gas! Gas can only be made by bacteria. The immediate conclusion is that bacteria are growing in your digestive tract that should not be allowed to do so. \n\nYou may wish to identify them before killing them with the zapper. Or you can sweep through the whole bacterial and viral range killing all with the frequency generator. The good effects can be felt in an hour, although the last gases may take days to get rid of. Salmonella and Bacteroides fragilis are two bacteria that can *eat bile*, and can do without oxygen, so they are commonly seen *in the liver*. .... The bacteria are in the liver because your liver attempted to strain them out of your blood and lymph in order to kill them with bile. Instead they turned around and ''ate'' the bile, turning it brown as evidence.\n \nNow every time your liver lets down bile into the intestine (and stomach), a population of these bacteria goes with it. The intestine becomes a seething mass of bacteria, bubbling away as they produce CO2, SO2, H2S, CO. Some of these gases are quite toxic. Help your liver expel its bacterial overload with liver cleanses until all the bile is a beautiful bright green.\n\n\nGOOD AFFECT ON ENVIRONMENT:\n\nVarious species of bacteria thrive on different food sources and in different microenvironments. In general, bacteria are more competitive when labile (easy-to-metabolize) substrates are present. This includes fresh, young plant residue and the compounds found near living roots. Bacteria are especially concentrated in the rhizosphere, the narrow region next to and in the root. There is evidence that plants produce certain types of root exudates to encourage the growth of protective bacteria.\n\nBacteria alter the soil environment to the extent that the soil environment will favor certain plant communities over others. Before plants can become established on fresh sediments, the bacterial community must establish first, starting with photosynthetic bacteria. These fix atmospheric nitrogen and carbon, produce organic matter, and immobilize enough nitrogen and other nutrients to initiate nitrogen cycling processes in the young soil. Then, early successional plant species can grow. As the plant community is established, different types of organic matter enter the soil and change the type of food available to bacteria. In turn, the altered bacterial community changes soil structure and the environment for plants. Some researchers think it may be possible to control the plant species in a place by managing the soil bacteria community.

i doubt you could drink enough alcohol to ward off an infection without killing yourself. youre in danger of alcohol poisoning if youre over 0.2% and youre legal drunk at a blood alcohol of .08-.1% pending on the state; i know you cant make alcohol products stronger than about 10-20% without distilling it because it kills off the microbes, so id guess it is about the same for bacteria so if my logic is correct youd have to have over 100 times more alcohol than the law allows you to drink and drive before it would be an effective antibiotic.\n\nplus alcoholics have suppressed immune systems which makes them more suceptible to infections. so no, this probably isnt a practical idea

Yeast can grow on all sorts of agar plates.  They don't need fancy cell culture conditions like mammallian cell lines do.\n\nhttp://www.midsci.com/docs/qbio/ChapterPDF/EU_04.pdf#search='media%20for%20yeast%20growth'  those guys sell some yeast growth media.  \n\nA kind I've used before is SAB (per liter: 40g glucose/10g peptone/5g agar).\n\nI would go with agar plates instead of liquid culture because it will be easier to insure uniform exposure.  The yeast should also remain viable for longer on plates than in liquid culture. \n\nThis sounds like a clever idea for an experiment, good luck.

The first three of the molecules you listed are alcohols, that is, they have an -OH group on them somewhere.  Alcohols, in general, kill bacteria and germs by denaturing the proteins inside of it (I'm not exactly sure how, but that means it reacts with one or more of the AMINO ACIDS that make up proteins aka peptides)\n\nThe last one, methyl salicylate, is "Oil of Wintergreen".  It's added to Listerine because it "helps prevent tartar buildup".  My guess is it just sits on your teeth, not affecting anything, but preventing other stuff from attaching itself.\n\nHope this helps!

Never heard of that happening as yeast is present on the body all of the time.  You only get the infection when something happens (irritation, taking antibiotics, etc.) make them multiply more.  I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Eat loads of yogurt and go to a health food store and get some high dose lactobacilli. 2 pills 2 times a day...  It's not fast, but getting rid of any type of infection takes time.\n\nNever heard of anyone getting it from kissing someone with it -- probable.  May depend to a certain extent on how much sugar is in your mouth.\n\nSymptoms may take a while to be noticeable -- any overgrowth (IE infection) takes some time to get to where it's noticeable.  \n\nYou can also rinse your mouth out with weak vinegar and water solution -- candida doesn't thrive in an acidic environment.\n\nYou may also want to replace your toothbrush.  Hope this helps.

Alcohol is full of sugar.  Drinking (or getting drunk, or whatever) will make it difficult to build muscle mass simply because drinking is equivalent to eating chocolate, or cake, or anything else with sugar for that matter.  When you consume any form of simple sugar (processed goodies or alcohol) your pancreas must release more insulin to stabilize blood sugar (and when you drink heavily, or eat lots of sweets) you blow your insulin level through the roof!  You can dehydrate yourself this way...and this is how your muscles feel so terrible after drinking.

Yes!  \n\nA tooth abscess is a collection of infected material (pus) resulting from bacterial infection of the center (pulp) of a tooth. \n\nThe infection results in a weaker immune system thus not allowing the body to protect itself.  \n\nAlso, an abscess of the tooth can result in more severe infections to include cerebal abscess.  \n\nIn short, don't play around with it.  This is something that needs to be fixed.

Meth only rots your teeth if you smoke it.  Just like crack.  It destroys the enamel that protect your teeth from decay, therefore, your teeth are more suceptible to cavities.  Also, meth makes you grind your teeth ALOT, so, you can also break them or lose them altogether due to the combination of decay AND grinding them daily.

Yeast is neither a bacteria OR a mold.  It is a fungus! Molds are a type of fungus too, and yeasts are closely related.  The green stuff and other fluffy stuff that grows on bread at times is not yeast.\n\nMold reproduces with spores, and the spores are essentially everywhere, they just need the right environment to grow in.  They need some dampness, but can grow in places that have relatively little liquid water, unlike most bacteria.  They seem to do well in and on media that are osmotically unfavorable for keeping water inside of a membrane, like cheeses, jellys and bread. Seems like when there is an abundance of water, other organisms tend to outgrow the mold, but go someplace hostile, like the surface of really sugary jam or jelly, so sugary that ordinary bacteria have all their water leach out of them if they try to grow in it, and mold pretty much rules. Wikipedia probably has more information.
