Owen: Back in the 20's Dr Weston A Price was concerned that over 80% of US population had bad teeth. He set out on worldwide search for the answers to decay w/ special focus on nutrition.
Research among the aboriginies and isolated ethnic groups turned up the fact that decay hit these groups in one generation of contact with 'civilized' foods. Chief culprits were white flour and sugar. The record of his 20yrs of research are in the reprint of "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration". Search for Price-Pottenger Found. online. Heavily detailed but well worth the time to read.
What amazed me was the sudden change in facial configuration when people were exposed to bad diet. - I pray you will find the answers,
