thanks for posting...
I couldn't believe it when I saw it on the news last night. I understand that proper dental health also prevents heart disease by curbing the stealth bacteria that affects the lining of arteries and heart valves.
:) My "Who knew?" was a tad sarcastic. Critics of Weston Price dismiss him out hand because he was a *dentist* and what could a dentist possibly know about health and nutrition? When he did his surveys in the 1930's, he used dental health as the primary indicator of overall health. I believe he was one of the first to propose a dental bacteria-heart health connection which was/is widely dismissed as quackery or simply ignored.
