It seems the jury isn't in on dental health and fruitarian diets. It makes sense that dried fruits might be the chief culprits, but seems like I've read other suspects also.

Regarding "finding the evidence you're looking for," I wouldn't want to find "the evidence" in my child who was permanently neurologically damaged from my being a vegan while pregnant and nursing.

Don't get me wrong, I was total vegan for many years, and am now mostly vegan, but I think it's wise to listen to those who are warning us about possible issues that they've had direct experience with (she said wanly through her broken teeth).

Permanently neurologically damaged children are a tragedy.

From my experience, diet can be a substitute for religion, or a pseudoreligion, and it's wrong to sacrifice children on that altar--but that's another topic.

I just wouldn't push Subjective Reality that far. Too risky.
