If all you eat is apples, sure. But you're probably having things like crackers, rice, sugary tea or coffee, eating bread, etc.

But rice and bread didn't exist 10.000 years ago?

They did in a few cultures. But most cultures were not consuming rice and bread 10.000 years ago.

The ones that did have sugary diets many thousands of years ago, like the egyptians, also happen to be the ones who practiced early forms of dental care.
