Yeah. Since the comment mentioned grains specifically, I wondered if it was coming from a "paleo" diet perspective.


Its from the perspective of the things that cause tooth decay and their relatively recent addition to human diets.

Processed/refined sugar for sure. But our ancestors in many parts of the world would have had plenty of access to fructose and other natural sugars, which can certainly cause tooth decay.
