So if you're trying to get healthier and you constantly have a source of toxicity coming into your body, you're not going to get very far.

Same as nutrition, right?

If you're eating toxic foods...

You're not going to get healthy, but the same is true for your mouth.

Well, poor dental health is the same as poor overall health.

Same, same thing, same food, same everything, right?

So I would say there's a few main foods that you probably have heard from maybe other guests that you should not have that are important for overall health and for oral health, same things.

So number one, obviously, and not in order of priority, would be obviously wheat and gluten.

It's inflammatory, causes a lot of dysregulation throughout the whole body.

Sugar, obviously, not all kinds of sugar, but processed sugar.

But obviously there is dairy, you know, the conventional dairy.

If you get good source dairy, it's different.

And of course, there is...

seed oils, uh, seed oils and processed foods in general are probably the biggest one.

Seed oils are our biggest culprit of health issues in the country.

I mean, by far, if you look at the trends in, as far as health issues in this country as chronic health issues, diabetes and

cancers, everything that as how it's been kind of increasing over time.

The graph follows exactly how the increase of seed oils has been.

Exactly.

Exactly.
