That is about the dumbest post I ever heard. The average life-expectancy was 45 just one hundred years ago. Most people who did make it to fifty had no problems with dental caries BECAUSE THEY HAD NO TEETH LEFT. You really should try to check facts before you type. Stop by Mt. Vernon sometime and check out Washingtons nice dentures. Research history of the western settlement. Most towns had their first dentist before they had their first doctor (not counting the barber).

And were not those days of caries when a favorite quote was:

'Every one is nuts except thou and me, and sometimes I have my doubts about thee?'

Very good point. It's all part of the larger truth that correlation does not necessarily imply cause. It may be that more mass murderers have brown eyes than blue eyes, but only a fool would tout that as proof that having brown eyes causes one to be a mass murderer.
