    We evolved in a world with little sugar, few starchy plants. 15,000 years ago everyone (except those where sugar cane grew) had excellent teeth

    In the fossil record bad teeth come at the same time as bread, though it took sugar (especially in fizzy drinks) to make everyone fat and diabetic

    I eat carnivore and haven’t brushed my teeth in five years and have not had any tooth aches

      The other white substance that you should watch for that our ancient ancestors never had to deal with is …

      SALT

      Like too much sugar … consuming a substance that was rare to our ancient ancestors is bad for your health … you might have excellent teeth, but you might keel over with a heart attack or a stroke.
