The health sciences have come so far in the last 100 years.......why are we
beset with idiots trying to undo all of this fine work?   The Millenium's
health marketing buzz words: natural, organic, grass-fed, cleansing.  The
really sad part is that there are so many people buying into it.   Instead of
responding to criticism with evidence the "alternative" medicine knuckleheads
keep espousing the ridiculous notion that the scientific community has formed
a conspiracy to supress "natural" remedies.  This is realllly getting boring.
Do you know how hard it is to get a roomful of scientists to agree on
ANYTHING?

Weston Price was a "scientist" in the sense that many historical
investigators were even into the 20th century.  He understand neither the
scientific method nor the evidence hierarchy, and came to absurd conclusions
based on ridiculous chains of reasoning.  His findings were not subject to
peer review or other professional scrutiny but I don't hold that against him
as he was probably sincere - albeit not all that smart - and largely just a
product of his times.  He had and still has his disciples who continue in the
tradtion of ignorance of true scientific methodology.

Basil G. Bibby was another dentist who traveled the world and looked at  the
nutrional and dental status of primitive cultures.   He was a brilliant
pioneer and researcher, was dean of Tufts dental school then director of the
Eastman Dental Center in Rochester.  He was revered by the best and brightest
of the dental scientific community and published extensively in the premiere
journals.

And he was also a friend of mine.  The nicest guy you ever met, but had no
tolerance for pseudoscientific baloney.  In his memory I suggest to you, Rami,
that if you want to learn something real about nutrition and dental health,
read "Food and the Teeth", Basil G. Bibby, Vantage Press New York 1990.
