So the full etiology, the picture with tooth decay and cavities, is having excess sugar in your diet with an absence or a deficiency of vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin A, and vitamin K2. The fat-soluble vitamins, which occur in animal foods predominantly, are essential for the odontoblasts, which are the immune cells in your teeth.

So I'm not telling people that they should just eat fruit or just eat honey, but if you are not getting fat-soluble nutrients in your food, which a lot of kids are deficient in because of either financial constraints or time constraints or their parents don't understand these things, then it is ultimately that fat-soluble nutrient deficiency that is leading to cavities in humans.

Well, you can filter the water, but it has to be reverse osmosis. So a Brita filter doesn't get fluoride out. You have to do reverse osmosis in your house to get rid of the fluoride. But I don't think we want fluoride in the water. There are definitely some places in the world where the water has a little bit more fluoride or less. And fluoride does occur naturally in the environment.

But the levels that we are getting from water or from our toothpaste, which kids inevitably swallow, is much higher than what we need. And we really are pushing way too much fluoride into children. And then the problem becomes that, Because the fluoride is in the water system, you water a field with fluoride. It goes into plants. You're washing your fruits and vegetables in fluoride.

It's on your food. So it's pervasive.

It's difficult. The cows you're eating are fed water that potentially has fluoride in it. So it's pervasive. And the easiest thing would be removing it from your drinking water to decrease your exposure. But, yeah, there's a lot of studies potentially linking fluoride to lower IQs. It's not something we had historically, right?

And again, there's a really famous, just I'll say this about tooth decay, really, really famous dentist in the 1940s named Weston A. Price. He traveled all over the world and he looked at the difference in tooth health and systemic health in indigenous tribes, people who were living traditionally and those who had become integrated into Western society simultaneously.

So these are people who are the exact same bloodline, similar genetics, and the differences in their oral hygiene and overall health between indigenous traditional ways and westernized ways were astounding. You should pick up, you should find some of the photos of Weston A. Price and some of these people.

The book is Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, but if you just Google Weston A. Price and these photos will come up. They are so strong. Have you seen these photos before, Pat? I have not. Okay. So look at this one. These are photos of traditional people. There's no dentist, right? These are smiles from tribes, people throughout the world. There's no dentist. There's no braces.

Those are perfect teeth and wide jaws. These people do not brush with toothpaste. They don't even floss their teeth. And there are hundreds of these photos in the books. Can you find a juxtaposition photo of,
