Price didn't believe that carbs or grains caused tooth decay: he prescribed freshly ground grains for the diet.
Price's book is compelling evidence that something in modern societies causes tooth decay, which is unnatural.
Price's hypothesis was that it was caused by the change to the modern diet and its lack of nutrients. So white flour bad, freshly ground whole grain good. Refined sugar, which Americans still eat ~80 pounds of a year creates a nutritional deficit that is hard to over come since the rest of our diet is not nutrient dense.
