Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Since I do wear dentures, I was very interested in this story. But, I am curious as to what is meant by the term 'denture cream?' Is this 'toothpaste for use with dentures?' Or, cream to hold the dentures in place?

Makes me wonder about zinc sunscreens...if used regularly and in large amounts, I wonder if the same problem could happen...

This story is more than a little confusing to me. By "denture cream", do they mean the denture adhesive that comes in a tube, or do they mean the toothpaste-like denture cleaner that also comes in a tube? I can't envision someone needing two tubes of denture adhesive in one week. That person needs to go to his/her dentist and get their dentures properly fitted and relined. I use a powdered adhesive; is there a similar toxicity risk?
