The dentist who brought the stalks to Boston told the Daily Mail in a recent interview that the piece of plastic he grabbed "was a lot bigger than a piece of paper."

It was a horrifying experience and one he learned about in college. After an early diagnosis of colon cancer and surgery, doctors eventually removed it from his colon, but the tiny piece of plastic never made it into his colonic cavity. And, apparently, most of the other patients who were treated for the stalks were also treated with the same piece of plastic.

The stalks were eventually removed from the patient, but the dentist, a practicing dentist in Maine, said he still had serious doubts about their worth. He told CNN, "I can't understand it at all."

Doctors at Brigham and Women's Hospital decided the stalks were not worth the risk, and began working on them. This meant they wouldn't survive to the age of 100. In an email, the gastroenterologist, Dr. David L. Schuler, said, "The stalks are not a real health concern for our team, because they are a normal part of our diet, and so we are not making any major changes. We have removed them."

Of course, it's not nearly as simple as this. The most likely problem is that the stalks are not good for your health. Even if you don't know the exact cause of tooth loss, you probably don't need to eat them.

Dr. Schuler added that, "If the toothpaste doesn't make you sick…it probably will." He told the Daily Mail that, "If the toothpaste does make you sick…it probably will."
