Paul--I agree with you about the rational view of all practices. I have
some dental horror stories from what ensued when my unlimited carb diet
met impending menopause. The cusps of my teeth started cracking off. I
tend not to worry about my extensive dental work--beats having no
teeth!! I may write some more about this later. I agree that hygiene
is very important. Before I started reigning in on the carbs though, I
was lucky if I remembered that I HAD teeth. I think I'd better go brush
my teeth (and dental work)!. . .Mary J.
