Good morning!

Here's your Saturday 7 roundup!

🥣 What sets you up for problems:

A few days ago I was doing dentistry at an elementary school and got to see the kids' breakfasts...

It was mostly sugar-laden, nutrient-devoid, food-stuffs.

🦷 Why women got more cavities:

In the Americas, the transition from hunter-gatherers to maize cultivators resulted in a 5X increase in cavities.

Archeologists discovered that in many of these early agricultural societies, women tended to have worse teeth then men.

Sexual division of labor resulted in females having less access to meat products but constant access to higher carb, plant-based foods that they'd prepare throughout the day.

Cavities on the cob.

🐦 What warning to listen to:

You've heard me say it before. 

The mouth is the canary in the coal mine, the early warning alarm, that tells us when our diet is off.

For example, a child may go to the pediatrician and get a clean bill of health; however, when I look in their mouth, I see teeth rotting.

A mouth full of cavities is an indication that the child's diet is off, but the pediatrician didn't catch it because the child didn't yet exhibit obvious disease...yet. It would likely be decades before this kid (then an adult) gets diagnosed with a chronic disease like diabetes or fatty liver caused by the poor diet.

Dr. Lisa Wiedeman, 14 year carnivore and eye doctor, invited me on her YouTube channel where we discussed how the mouth and eyes are early detectors of poor diet. 

💡Where to compete:

If everyone is chasing after the "realistic" goals then this is where there is the most competition.

The fishing is best where the fewest go, and the collective insecurity of the world makes it easy for people to hit home runs while everyone else is aiming for base hits.

🧠 How to get lucky:

"Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for."

– Richard Wiseman

🎧 What I'm listening to:

I've had to start traveling a bit for work, the good news, I get to listen to more podcasts.

I enjoyed these 2 this week:

1. How Fiat Falls (Dylan LeClair and Robert Breedlove)
2. The Bitcoin Debate (Jeff Booth vs George Gammon)

🪥 Would you use wasabi toothpaste:

The world's largest toothpaste collection—wasabi and whiskey flavors!

As always, it's an absolute pleasure and honor getting to spend some time with you, hope you have a great weekend!

P.S.

I've been doing a lot of 6th grade math homework lately.

I can tell you, there's a fine line between a numerator and a denominator...

😂 Only a fraction of people will find this funny. Too divisive.
