Washington, Feb 27: Modern lifestyle habits help prevent tooth decay, according to a new study.

According to a review of the scientific evidence over the past 150 years, the effects of fluoride toothpaste, good oral hygiene and health education, might override the effects of food alone on tooth decay.

Professor Monty Duggal, an author of the review, said that it''s not enough to just look at what we eat when talking about tooth decay, as other factors seem to be as important.

Washington, Feb. 27: Louisiana Governor Piyush `Bobby' Jindal's Republican response to President Barack Obama's address to the joint session of the US Congress has been universally panned.

What was meant to be a coming out celebration on the national stage, however, turned to something far different for Jindal.

Jindal's address was expected to generate momentum for a possible 2012 presidential run, but according to CBS, it instead resulted in questions about whether the 37-year-old governor is really ready for prime time.
