You know you can toggle time stamps off?

Thanks for sharing this. One of the things I found most interesting about the amazing WWI “filmed on location” documentary They Shall Not Grow Old (using colorized footage from the war with voices added based on lip-reading analysis), was the horrid state of the soldiers’ teeth. Apparently candy and other sugary food was widespread enough a hundred years ago, and dental care rare enough, that the average person’s mouth was an absolute mess. Watch the documentary and you’ll see what I mean throughout it.

I’ll look into it. I’ve got a quick way of formatting it right now.

It must have been all the vinegar, bacon fat, and rotten fish sauce.

Sugar remaining in mouth is easily removed by swishing with water. Sugar is water soluble. What is really bad is meat stuck between teeth. Meat will support millions of bacteria growth. That causes gum disease which is major cause of tooth loss, not cavities. Most important procedure to save loss of teeth is flossing after consuming meat.

When you toggle transcript, there is a triple dot top on the transcript box at the top, just click that to turn them off - takes less than a nano second.

The real cause for bad teeth was lack of flossing after eating.

SUMMARY: Sugar bad for teeth.

And floss daily. Adds about 7 years to lifespan. Gum disease and heart disease are related.

I have quick hands, but not nanosecond quick. And the transcript of this one looks handwritten, rather than generated like the one of Maclaughlin’s. I’m not getting into the biz of hand-editing these, so forget it.

Gotta wonder about Romano-Britons’ teeth, compared with the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes (and then Vikings) who came in later.

That must be some font you have selected - else its just a straight forward Times of Helvetica - whatever your default browser fonts are set at.

Took me less than 17 seconds to go from the page link to Youtube to Show Transcript to Turn Off Time Stamps to Copying the entire transcript.

Not computer generated, is what I mean. It appears to have been provided by toldinstone.

They did: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_sugar

It was used in clumps (not as a powder) and as medicine.

Seems to be on your end in some way - mine is just standard Times Roman - per my browser font preferences.

The transcript in the earlier topic is how many YT transcripts look. The transcript for the Canary Islands video (even earlier topic) was in Spanish, even though the narration wasn’t. I’m not going to mess around having to add punctuations or get a machine translation of stuff, so, as I said, forget it.

I wasn’t talking about the font, as I explained.
