![]() Thankfully, tooth decay is as unfortunate as it is preventable. Taxing impoverished soda drinkers won't improve their dental health. Add to those factors poverty and lack of adequate dental insurance and it's easy to see why tooth decay is rampant in Appalachia. And they often fear their well water is polluted. They often don't have access to fluoridated tap water. What's more, consider why people in places like West Virginia may choose soda or juice instead of water. Mountain Dew and its parent company, PepsiCo, know that to be true, as a recent Huffington Post headline, PepsiCo Struggling To Adapt To Declining U.S. Notably, soda consumption has been on the decline in the United States for more than a decade. A 2001 study published by the Journal of Dental Research found an "absence of apparent effects of sugared soda consumption in younger people" What's more, the link between soda consumption and cavities in children is tenuous at best. ![]() So it's not that soda's impact is any different than that of juice or milk. Maria Lopez-Howell, a dentist and consumer adviser for the American Dental Association, in comments on the HuffPost Live panel about the harm that repeated, continuous consumption of any acidic beverage can cause. "This is any soda, any juice, any milk," said Dr. But, say experts, soda is no worse in that capacity than a host of other beverages. That's important because it's acid that's bad for teeth. Harris cites in her 2009 article, Mountain Dew is actually less acidic than Diet Coke. Instead, America's top ten soda-consuming cities are found in Texas, California, Western Tennessee, Indiana, and Ohio.Īnd, according to data Prof. None of the cities cited in the article as top per-capita soda consumers were located in Appalachia. The Mountain Dew Mouth debate is predicated on claims that people in Appalachia drink more soda than do Americans elsewhere and that Mountain Dew, a favorite there, is a particularly nefarious drink.Ī June 2013 Men's Health article, Capitals of Cola, lists Charleston, WV, in the heart of Appalachia, as one its "fizz-free towns"-places where soda is unpopular. In fact, the author of the recent NPR article, Eliza Barclay, refers to her own reporting on a study, published earlier this year in General Dentistry, in which she claims that soda drinkers' "teeth could deteriorate so much that they look like the teeth of a methamphetamine or crack addict."Ĭracked, the humor publication, reviewed the same study and quickly concluded its claims were "B.S." It appears to me to be just another battle in the public health community's fight against soda. That's the crux of what this conversation appears to be about. Harris concluded that if Pepsi won't "do more," then new regulations (including soda taxes) should follow.Ī recent NPR article that revived the issue and precipitated this week's HuffPost Live segment contextualizes the conversation about "Mountain Dew Mouth" as part of a larger "fight against soda" in America. The article, Undoing the Damage of the Dew, is an expansive look at the topic. Priscilla Norwood Harris of Appalachian Law School, wrote a law review article that year on the alleged phenomenon. One of my fellow guests on HuffPost Live, Prof. But is Mountain Dew or soda writ large to blame?Ĭlaims of Mountain Dew Mouth gained national attention in 2009. It's true that Appalachia boasts some very high rates of tooth decay. The term blames soda in general-and Mountain Dew in particular-for the Appalachian "region's alarmingly high incidence of eroded brown teeth." Earlier this week I appeared in a HuffPost Live debate on the topic of "Mountain Dew Mouth."

![]() The receiver in your television is designed to respond to a wide range of frequencies so you can have just as reliable reception on channel 35 as you do on channel 17. Your mobile phone can even cause TV interference if it operates on these frequencies. It's kind like trying to have a conversation with someone on the other side of a room while another person is talking very loudly next to you. So, why is this a problem for over-the-air TV channel reception? Depending on your home's proximity to LTE towers, the strong signals they emit can overload the receiver in your TV and cause channels to drop out, or disappear altogether. Those channels can now be used for other purposes, and as it turns out, one of those purposes is mobile phone networks. Over the past few years, the Federal Communications Commission has auctioned off more TV channel spectrum more specifically, all UHF TV channels above 37 (above 600 MHz). (LTE is also known as 4G, and the newest technology is known as 5G.) Depending on how old your phone is, it will be compatible with LTE networks, which means it must work on LTE radio frequencies. ![]() It's simply a way to describe the current generation of smartphone networks.

We asked a third party industry expert to give us his take on LTE filters and how the Channel Master filter performed, here is what he had to say. "And why do I need one?"īoth good questions. "What the heck is an LTE filter?" you're probably wondering. You may also have noticed that we recommend that you install one to improve TV reception. If you're setting up your antenna system to watch (or are already watching) free, over-the-air television, you may have noticed a little gizmo on our Web site that we call an LTE filter (#CM-3201).

The Alvin Draft-Matic is a metal drafting pencil comparable to the Pentel GraphGear 1000 in all but one way: It has a nonretractable tip.Some people like the Paper Mate SharpWriter for its twist-tip lead dispensing, but most prefer to click to advance lead.Although some people may want or need a squishier grip, we suggest trying the Uni Kuru Toga Alpha Gel, which retains a solid writing experience while softening the feel. Grip Center of Gravity, and the Sakura SumoGrip. We eliminated pencils with extremely squishy grips, such as the Pilot Dr.The heavy, metal Rotring 800 has many adherents, but a number of reviews note problems with the lead shattering and breaking inside the pencil body, the tip retraction failing, and other problems that should not be so common in a $50 pencil.The Zebra M-701 is a straightforward, midtier option that lacked the distinguishing lead rotation of the Kuru Toga line.There’s even a Kuru Toga line that has you covered if your problem is that your current pencils don't have Disney characters. The Kuru Toga High Grade has a polished aluminum look and limits the lead-rotation clutch to a smaller window near the tip. Likewise, there’s the self-explanatory Kuru Toga Rubber Grip model, as well as the even-cushier Kuru Toga Alpha Gel Grip. The Kuru Toga Roulette is great if you want a heavier pencil with a serious grip similar to that of a graphing pencil. But you have many more options if you don’t mind a slower rotation and don’t need a retractable tip. If you want the Pipe Slide’s twice-as-fast lead-rotation engine and retractable tip, you’re limited to the Kuru Toga Advance, which has a metal-plated clip and tip, giving it more heft and a lower center of gravity. ![]() If the Kuru Toga’s rotating mechanism sounds appealing but you prefer a differently styled writing implement, we suggest looking at the many other available versions. Widths available: 0.5 mm for the Pipe Slide 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, and 0.7 mm for the Kuru Toga standard pencil The Kuru Toga has been our pick since 2013, but the Pipe Slide is a newer version: It has a retractable tip so it won’t stab you through your pocket, and it rotates lead twice as fast as the original so it keeps the tip at a finer point. It looks and feels nicer than most similarly priced or cheaper mechanical pencils, and it’s readily available online and at office-supply and stationery stores. For people who mostly use a pencil for writing and doodling, the Uni Kuru Toga Pipe Slide is a well-rounded, always-sharp option. ![]() His trait, Oath, boosts his attack by 10% and the boost is increased to 20% following his ascension.

Units within each tier are also arranged alphabetically and the first on each list not necessarily the best of the bunch. However, we consider them as close in value to units within the tier than others. Heroes lodged within the same tier may not be as equal to one another as we hope to be given their numbers.
