As I understand it, the issue with dental health and grains is mostly when they're stone ground. Ancient peasants had terrible oral health because their teeth were sanded away.

I think a lot of grains are fairly anti-nutrient. Phytic acid from much of them interferes with absorption of minerals, for example. You're right about mechanics in your example, too.

I know some women gave their babies actual goat milk, etc, too, but I also know you're right about groups who didn't even have much carb availability & thrived.
Interestingly, a man who seemed like he was already a dentist went digging for why there are tribes with vastly different diets that all have great dental health (some in the Polynesian islands, etc, ARE carb heavy, even with rice, but many fruits, too). Another subject, obviously, but it was about being colonized with the right bacterias & not having Western garbage food, nor antibiotics, kill or add negatively to those bacteria.

I'm forgetting, but I do think women in the keto groups had a hard time producing milk. Again, probably a male/female difference. Breast milk is low fat & even low protein (only about 5-7%). It's mostly carbs/sugars, which I know can translate within us from glucogenesis, but it doesn't seem to fully sustain a lactating mother.
Grains are newer in human evolution, though. They obviously go along with farming & agriculture. They can also be - & often are - stored for upwards of a decade. Ewww. We really don't need them, they just became convenient & filler food.

@GoyGirl @Eiregoat @ChadleyDudebro @s2208 @tyler @DC5FAN @LawrenceGerald @arm_barbarian So something i looked into at the very first were the diets of indigenous hunters and they ate very little in the way of carbs. And they were in insanely good health. So i dunno but something doesn't add up here

@Eiregoat @Escoffier @ChadleyDudebro @GoyGirl @s2208 @tyler @LawrenceGerald @arm_barbarian Has to come from somewhere in this case the mother's diet.

Well no, even if she eats a zero carb diet her body will still produce sugary breastmilk, it'll just be inefficient and there might be less of it.

Why do you think breastmilk is so sweet?
Do you imagine the sugar is unnecessary stuff thrown in there for no reason?
