Popper mastication motions require uniformly level teeth. I don't see getting them to grow properly interlocking, with the correct position of molars/incisors being a particularly easy task.

I can see them growing the teeth in a external environment then selecting the appropriate ones then implanting them.

yep i can see getting the right shape and definition taking a very very long time.

We can grow lots of tissues but growing them in anything like a usable shape is difficult

It's a great start.

there is always a way round that, crowns and the new fillings based on bio materials the ones that'll be out soon in fillings.

The qoute you have there is based on % of GDA of human intake, which is differs from the overall %. Seems to me you have no understand how the food industry calculate %. i'll make it simple for you, 1 slice is 100% 2 slices is 200%.

100g has around 4% fat, 800g loaf of bread has 30-40% fat.

Here is what you meant to say: Bread contains around 1.5% of your daily RDA for fat per slice, there are around 30 slices on a loaf. A 800g loaf contains 45% of your daily RDA.

However you got your numbers wrong, a loaf of Hovis white contains about 26% of your daily RDA based on 70g per day.

You notice the important part that you missed? You made it sound like the fat content of bread is 40%, which is isn't.

Processed animal fat bad for you heart etc.. bread contains up to around 40% of animal fat.

You said bread contains 40% fat, witch you then backed up with your "calculations".

No mention of GDA.

and you're basing this on what?

He either got Incisor information or he's in contact with Molar

Why would the new tooth not form the correct shape and size on its own. Our natural teeth manage it.

I agree with XRAY. How can we believe anything from a journalist who can't use the correct words.

The process would also have to be speeded up if it was to be used on people as human teeth take years to form.

'Sped' right?

Whitestar · 4 Aug 2009 at 22:40

Yeah.
Just having a laugh at the 'Clarkson in trouble again' report. I knew as soon as I saw that ad that some up tight people would have to have a winge about it.

because this isn't natural it's a small culture and we don't completely understand the process of how tissues form organs.

if it was as simple as just getting the cells and they grew in the right shape we'd have grown hearts, lungs, livers and kidneys by now.

70g is 2 slices or there abouts, it depends on how its cut up.

We understand it we just dont know how to do it well.
