Not just EU, Switzerland too. That tells me everything I need to know, the site owner simply wants to steal my personal data and use it against me.
Surely that’s the reason and not the EU penalty for simply storing cookies “without consent” being so severe as to practically negate the value of EU citizens on the internet.

Tooth decay or brain and liver damage? Or reducing sugar?
Our body can assimilate 1 Alcoholic Unit per day without any problems. I doubt those bacteria would produce anything in that order of magnitude so I truly don't understand your reply. Did you just blindly write: "alcohol therefore bad"?

Against that, you have the entire dental industry, an established market of i dunno how much per year but substantial. They're already well versed in selling people intangibles packaged with inert ingredients. They've got a long history of "science to order" (9 out of 10 dentists agree!). They've got a large body of known sadists to call on for the less civil dispute resolution processes they might choose to employ.
I salute the folks behind this effort. Even if its all fairy dust you've put your lives on the line.

Charging $20,000 for a dose? Really?
What’s a fair price? Spending well over $20k on dental work over a lifetime is easy for many people. Adjust for inflation and it’s a steal. Cavities often lead to eventual root canals which require a crown which one day will probably require an extraction and a dental post and prosthetic tooth. That is probably around $8k or more for a single tooth at todays rates.
$2k is more likely as a price point for mass adoption.
So within the existing population today there exist individuals who essentially never get cavities. The hypothesis for this has been 1. they don't eat sugar, or only fibrous foods, etc. 2. They have a genetic difference that builds stronger enamel or similar. I have never heard of anyone discussing bacteria in the mouth as a possible difference. Be interested to see if there is a natural strand that some people have…
I eat plenty of sugar.
Doing a couple Google/Twitter searches for this company it's pretty obvious it's coming out of the Berkeley-area EA/rationalist cluster, which automatically makes me pretty skeptical. These people don't exactly have a stellar track record of medical startups (recall all the hype around MetaMed, which delivered precisely nothing).
I can see why this makes sense, but no wonder they failed at enrolling the cohort.
