I went to the dentist today for my 6-month cleaning. I was in pretty good shape over all, but I had a little bleeding of the gums. What does it mean? More flossing, and better flossing. Like, under the gums flossing. Fun fun. But it works. I’m a believer. And anyway, haven’t you seen any of those reports about minor infections? Apparently if you have any kind of high blood pressure or heart disease or anything like that, these little infections travel around in your blood and make it worse. Seriously, like it can make your heart explode, or your brain, or something. Dude, that would suck. What should you do? Lose weight, floss your teeth, cut down on salt, avoid high fructose corn syrup, maybe pick up some diet pills here….maybe…you know, stuff like that.

Oh yeah, and drink red wine. And chug olive oil. Wine and olive oil. Maybe some of that lycopene. Rock on.

Good luck.
