It is a no brainer that a diet high in milk, calcium, Vitamin D., etc. vs. a diet high in simple carbs and sugar drinks will give you healthier teeth. I will agree with you there and I think we all need to strive to toss out some of the junk! I'm still not convinced on the crooked issue. To even suggest a conclusion from an informal survey with a group of what...7 people is irresponsible in my opinion.

It was not a study but an informal survey. There's not a lot of data available about mothers feeding a traditional "WAPF" diet because Sally Fallon only founded the WAPF just 10 years ago in 1999. You may not be impressed by an informal survey of a handful of women; I can understand that. However, did you take the time to look at the link I posted to Dr. Weston Price's book? I'll post it again. The whole thing is online: http://www.journeytoforever.org/farm_library/price/pricetoc.html I invite you to click on that link, take a few moments and go through and look at the photos. All the people in the indigenous cultures Dr. Price studied had naturally straight teeth. They did not go to dentists or orthodontists. They didn't need to. Their teeth were not crooked and did need to be fixed. And they all have extremely low rates of cavities (cavities were almost non-existent). Regarding your other comment: "The teeth of the indigenous people are so lovely, numerous and straight because they died probably before they were 30." Go and look at Dr. Price's book online. There are photos of people who were over 30. But that aside, your argument does not make sense. The reason they had straight teeth is because they died before 30? This implies that people's teeth get crooked after age 30. We know this is not true. Humans get crooked teeth when their adult teeth come in. Their teeth come in crooked. As I said in my post, 75% of Americans have malocclusions (or "bad bite") and could benefit from seeeing an orthodontist. The people Dr. Price studied, regardless of age, did not have crooked teeth. Nor did those people I saw in the museum. Hi, Susan.

But on the Cheeseslave website, she quotes a study (more than once) that had all of SEVEN participants? So 6 out of the 7 did not need braces and we are supposed to somehow extrapolate data from that? Please tell me I am reading that wrong!
