Thread Irrational fears

I have no idea what it actually is. Some kind of yeast spread you put on toast etc.

Gives me the creeps.


Some people bathe in it

Marmite is made from the yeast extract which is a by-product of brewing. It's been made for over 100 years in Burton-on-Trent, the British beer brewing capital. It's marketed as 'You either love it or hate it'
 
The reason for 'British teeth' is actually historic. During the second World War and for many years afterwards, the poor diet here ( rationing was in place into the 50's) caused a lot of gum disease. It was normal up until the 60's for people to have false teeth. This is no longer the case but people with no real knowledge perpetuate the myth. We do not, however, place such a premium on appearance that we spend thousands on our teeth as Americans tend to.
