Healthy People = Healthy Teeth

The absence of essential nutritional factors, and the presence of injurious factors, explains why Native people had healthy teeth, while "Modern people" suffer from severe tooth decay.

Why Do These People Have Such Healthy Teeth?

And Why Do These People Have Severe Tooth Decay?

Isolated Groups of People on Their Native Diets Had a High Immunity to Decay

Dr. Price sought to find control groups around the planet, in the 1930's, to confirm or deny his hypothesis about nutrition and tooth decay.

In every instance Dr. Price found that when individuals of the same ethnic background had lost their isolation and who thus adopted modern foods and food habits of commerce - there was an early and rapid loss of immunity to tooth decay.

Some groups Dr. Price studied, such as isolated Australian Aborigines, Remote tribes in Africa, Canadian Indians, and Isolated Group's of Eskimo's, had no occurrence of tooth decay. They were completely immune. They also maintained a high degree of health and physical perfection, which included strength, endurance, and an ability to deal with hard climates.

Modernized Groups of People had Lots and Lots of Dental Decay

When these same healthy groups of people, who for generation, after generation, produced physically perfect offspring, nearly 100% free from tooth decay, when they just changed their diet to a diet of commerce (like the diet we eat today), they rapidly experienced disease and dental decay.

Dr. Price's studies included a chemical analysis of foods of the isolated groups and also of the displacing foods of our modern civilization. He found that the isolated diet's containing a high immunity to tooth decay, had several times more vitamins and minerals than the modern displacing diets.

Our modern dispalcing diet is the cause of tooth decay. Tooth decay has little to do with tooth brushing and fluoridating water. If these stradegies worked, people would be having less and less cavities.

Approximately 90% of people in the U.S. eating a "modernized" diet, consising of many junk and processed foods, have had tooth decay at least once in their lives.
