This book earns a Good rating due to moderate scientific backing for its thesis on diet-driven jaw underdevelopment, drawn from robust animal models and observational human data, but tempered by lack of interventional trials and expert pushback on causality. Key studies like the 2020 BioScience 'Jaw Epidemic' review (PMC7498344) synthesize evidence from skull comparisons (hunter-gatherers vs. modern: larger jaws by 10-20%) and rodent experiments where soft diets halved mandibular growth rates. D
A compelling, evidence-based exploration of how modern diets may underlie jaw and health epidemics. Worth reading for parents and health enthusiasts, but balance with professional dental advice. Promotes simple preventives like harder chewing over invasive treatments.
