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.

"The old Republican Party was a stool with three legs: social conservatism, economic conservatism and national security conservatism.
So too is the MAGA Republican Party. One of those legs is the nativist extremism of Stephen Miller. The second is the anti-government extremism of Russell Vought.
And the last is the open, flamboyant corruption of Donald Trump — a corruption that degrades a people’s faith in government and makes it all the easier to remake the state in the image of a single man."  - Jamelle Bouie 2025-11-17

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.
