A cogent comment, my friend. But let's examine the matter a little closer. Take for example our paranoid friend's comment:
NYSCOF: Tooth decay, like most other diseases, is caused by poor nutrition in the womb.....
I incredulously ask what he means by that, and, as proof, he posts this, from the ADA:
CHICAGO - Pregnant women can help ensure their children get a good start on their oral health by focusing on staying healthy, including a proper diet, because teeth begin developing between the third and sixth month of pregnancy, says the American Dental Association (ADA).
Obviously, to any rational person reading that blurb, the meaning is that one of the reasons pregnant women should maintain a proper diet is to help with the proper DEVELOPMENT of the teeth. Nowhere does it say anything about tooth decay.
Unfortunately, this is how these people read medical journals, if at all. The see one small portion of a study and make sweeping generalizations from them, failing to understand the limitations and purposes of the study.
Par for the course, I guess.
