Tom:
Your assertion that the dental probelms were caused by "industrial-
quality" fruit is an assumption by you, and it is FALSE. The dental
problems occurred while I was living in Florida, and eating local,
fresh, natural/organic fruit that I picked and/or grew myself.

That is, I was living under optimal cobditions (for a fruitarian),
and eating very high quality (and very delicious fruit - far better
than "supermarket grade"). Yet I still had serious dental problems
anyway, as do many fruitarians.

The real world is too complex to be reduced to a brix meter... :-)
