Therefore,
my
remarks
in
another
chapter
upon
the
influence
of
refined
foods
will
apply
particularly
in
the
case
of
the
teeth.
A
satisfactory
supply
of
lime
in
the
diet
is
especially
necessary
for
building
teeth
and
bone.
Whole-wheat
bread
will
supply
the
material
for
building
sound
teeth,
while
oatmeal
and
other
whole
grain
foods
are
almost
equally
satisfactory
for
this
purpose.
Some
women
lose
their
teeth
rapidly
as
a
result
of
pregnancy,
because
the
diet
upon
which
they
live
is
really
a
starvation
diet
so
far
as
these
important
elements
are
concerned.
Eggs
are
rich
in
lime
and
elements
required
for
building
strong
teeth,
while
vegetables
and
fruits
in
their
natural
state
are
valuable
in
this
way.
Good
milk
is
of
value
for
its
supply
of
lime
and
other
organic
minerals
in
the
case
of
young
children.
Furthermore,
all
natural
foods
that
provide
good
exercise
for
the
teeth
through
the
necessity
for
mastication
are
valuable
on
this
account
for
strengthening
the
teeth,
as
I
have
already
said.
Dentistry
is
one
of
our
most
useful
professions.
But
there
would
be
need
for
few
dentists
if
the
suggestions
given
in
this
chapter
were
closely
followed
by
men,
women
and
children
the
whole
country
over.
One
may
have
strong
teeth
in
practically
every
instance,
as
a
result
of
proper
care
and
suitable
diet,
just
as
he
may
have
strong
muscles,
strong
organs
and
strong
nerves.
CHAPTER
XII:
How
to
Eat
Civilization
has
brought
with
it
a
train
of
evils
unknown
in
the
natural
life.
There
is
no
need,
for
instance,
to
tell
a
wild
animal
what
to
eat;
his
life
is
planned
for
him
in
advance.
His
food
is
supplied
by
Nature
and
not
superabundantly,
so
he
is
compelled
to
eat
it
in
a
manner
to
secure
the
greatest
amount
of
vital
vigor
therefrom.
Hunger
controls
his
eating,
and
therefore
he
always
enjoys
his
food.
If
we
were
to
eliminate
many
of
the
mechanical
processes
involved
in
the
preparation
of
our
foods,
there
would
be
little
or
no
necessity
for
instruction
in
eating,
for,
if
we
ate
our
food
in
a
natural
state,
we
would
be
compelled
to
masticate
it,
and
this
is
the
fundamental
requirement
of
healthy
digestion.
