They chewed on sticks. Some people still do. Usually made from neem, licorice root, or chicory.

Prehistoric fossils show early humans with all manner of health problems, but generally very good teeth.

Besides the whole refined sugar thing, modern blood is thought to be lower in pH than ancient blood due to dietary change.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

It has lower PH because people are eating so much meat.  Amino-Acid, it's an acid, not only does this lead to bone loss because the body pulls phosphates from the bone to buffer the acidic blood,  meat consumption is also the root cause of common cancers /heart disease /diabetes /autoimmune disorders.
