Maybe there's a couple other options? ;)

He found the least rates of dental carries in cultures eating the most
seafood. I summarized that result. I didn't quote.

Yes, of course, that is the thrust of the book. I was comparing the
traditional diets (and statistics) to each other--not to "civilized" diets.
Perhaps I was unclear, but it remains that seafood was correlated with the
least dental carries. Traditional foods beat modern foods, but seafood was a
winner among traditional foods. I hope that is clearer.

I may well be mistaken about the vegetarian mindset. It was written _about_
Price, not from his book. And I can't remember where I read that, so I can't
check it out. Thanks for calling me on that.

I hear you.

The point remains that there are no raw vegan cultures, much less robustly
healthy ones, found by Price. And that seafood was important in the
healthiest folks Price studied.
