On the same page as the above quotation is a further statement regarding tooth preservation: “The widespread use of diets containing large proportions of highly refined foods which contribute chiefly starches and sugars may, by reason of excluding an adequate intake of protective foods, be a predisposing factor in the prevalence of dental caries in our modern civilization.” So many teeth are being drawn today, due to ulcera-tion at the roots, caries, or pyorrhea, that some writers have raised the question, “Is this nation destined to become toothless?” How unfortunate is such a condition when we consider that the calamity could easily have been prevented if all had reformed their dietetic habits.

This condition of the eyes is companion to the “muddy complexion” and can be overcome by following the instruction in the chapter on constipation. The eye tissue, like that of the teeth and other tissues, breaks down when not supplied with the proper elements of nutrition, and becomes weakened, the sight is dulled, and glasses become a necessity. But when the building mineral and vitamin elements are supplied in normal amounts from childhood, the sight and brilliancy of the eyes are maintained until late in life.
