No, not really. Let's see, there's 6,376,792 people in the state of Indiana and 724 meth labs. There's 12,901,563 people in the state of Illinois and 10,003,422 in Michigan, yet Indiana has more meth labs than those 2 states combined. Not to mention the fact that both states dwarf Indiana in terms of population. Fail. Try again.

Does this website NOT prove the Southern Tooth loss stereotype to truth? The top 10 are all in the South. LOL. No hate.. just Akhen or whoever is disturbingly annoying...

Obviously the whole region doesn't have bad teeth I lived in the south for a while.. (If NOVA is considered the south still).

Fail? You are the one that is trying to say that Indiana is not really a Great Lake state in the midwest even thought it sits right between Illinois and Michigan.

I'll come back when you have a better argument than that.

I wasn't talking about old folks on Medicare, I was talking about younger people in their 20's, 30's and 40's who lose their teeth due to drug use. The elderly population in the south grew up in a much different environment compared to today.

I mean seriously. I might have grown up in Iowa, but it's not Somalia! Yeah I didn't have a mountain out my kitchen window, or drive to the Ocean 3 times a year, but umm....we all live in the same country. We had a car for every person, 3% unemployment, absolutely no crime or traffic, very good schools, my family got internet in 1994 when everyone else started to, I got my first cell phone as a 16 year old in 1996, grew up with cable TV and MTV in the 80's, went to shopping malls in my hometown with the same Abercrombie and Gap crap that everyone else did as a teenager, we went boating, flew places on vacation, jumped on VCR's, CD players, Ninendo's, flat screens, DVR and everything else when it was coming out.

I like when people think Midwesterners get technology like.....4 years after everyone else. We all watch the same TV! We all get the same commercials! You think I'm not going to get HD, an Ipod or an Iphone in Iowa the same time someone in New York or California does because it takes commercials 3 years to travel to the "interior"?

I'm thinking it must be fashion that makes people believe EVERYTHING takes longer to travel across the country. Iowa didn't have the high end shops and some of the unique newest restaurants in the country, but we weathered through it just fine. I was much more obsessed with getting a nintendo in the mid 1980's, or hooked up to AOL in 1996 than I gave a crap about the hottest pair of $200 jeans.

My aunt was telling us how floored she was in 1977 when she moved to Washington DC and people actually asked her if she had a toilet in her house, or a TV or shopping malls. She was said....umm....I'm not from Russia ???

Hahaha, I get that all the time too. I was in Philadelphia a few years ago when I was 21 and my buddies and I met some good looking girls...So we got to talking, and they eventually figured out we were from Minneapolis...But the kicker is that they thought Minneapolis was in Washington State.... ? I couldnt believe it... 21 year olds and they actually didnt know what state Minneapolis was in....

Also, my mom went on spring break to Florida in the early 1980s, and she told me a story where she met people down there who actually thought that Minnesotans lived in Igloos. No joke

it is more of a rural thing, I have known plenty of people that did meth and some family members and you would be surprised the kind of people that do it once you get around the product.
