Hoping there is a relationship...

My wife was not eating a traditional diet in any way during pregnancy and
then the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis can explain the stealing of calcium from
the 8 front tooths to form the cystes to enclose the protozora . The problem
have been obvious as soon the teeths showed up.  the enamel was deffective
.The molars are not affected.
Nothing to compare .

You see i was clearly not talking about you and you are thinking i am trying
to explain your experience . for you,  next time i will be carefull about
underlying the I's  in my statement
I was giving possible reasons why once weaned from the cooked meats the
smell became repulsive to me .

I see that!  even when I state something you suppose some hidden meanings.
