When your diet is mostly meat based, and some foraged greens and rare fruit, it is not the ideal environment to feed the process that creates cavities. Also, I'd imagine tooth extraction predates a lot of modern history, which may skew results, but that is just a guess on my part.

- dotancohen 5y agoThis is absolute fiction presented as facts. If HN had a way to killfile a user this user would be first on my list. This type of misinformation has no place on HN.
- jwarden 5y agoI read that as a joke, even if not a very clever one.
- winrid 5y agoI think it was a joke...
- 0des 5y agoAre you okay? What an odd aggressive remark.
- mostertoaster 5y agoYes I can confirm it was a bad joke. Personally I thought this whole thread was a joke. Glad I’d be first on your list though, I’m hardly ever first at anything. Also COVID is fake, the earth is flat, 9/11 was an inside job, and now that you’ve shown desire to killfile(?) a supreme member of the Illuminati, well I don’t know what will happen, but it will probably be semi irritating.
