The first recorded spelling of the family name is possibly that of Adam Medecalf. This was dated 1301, in the Subsidy Rolls of Yorkshire, during the reign of King Edward 1st, 1272 - 1307. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation.In England this was known as Poll Tax.t is chiefly recorded in the county of Yorkshire, and there have been claims that it represents the very first hereditary surname. This is arguable, but there is no doubt that it was one of the very first.
As for tooth decay, conventional dentistry says that sugar alcohols do not promote it and the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) agrees. In fact, you will see claims - sanctioned by the FDA - that one sugar alcohol in particular, xylitol, PROTECTS teeth from cavities. Even though this is odd that on one hand, dentists say sugar causes tooth decay, but then on the other hand they claim that sugar alcohols can protect against tooth decay.
Alcohol Abuse Doesnât Just Mean More Cavities. Pure alcohol on its own will not damage oneâs teeth. However, most people donât drink pure alcohol. Beer, liquor and mixed drinks have high sugar content and high acidity, breaking down the enamel that protects your teeth. This can lead to cavities, long term tooth decay and increase the risk of periodontal disease. People that suffer from alcohol abuse may also forget to brush their teeth. While once in a while forgetting to brush isnât the end of the world, poor dental hygiene can have long-term repercussions.
