What is the unpersoning of people? Being made stateless is the major thing that I can think of, or the arguments about the status of UK and EU citizens under the Brexit legal changes would be another, I suppose.

I notice that the article cavities didn't say anything at all about fluoridation of water, which is a major contributor to dental health.

Fluoride in the water is awesome, but doesn't explain differences between two people in the same household (unless one never drinks water).
