Hi Gail. :) I often watch those shows as well, usually discovery or something similar. I've come to the conclusion that its more about genetic make up and as you say, diet. Did you ever see those Tibetans or remote village Africans smile for the cameras. Would beat any TV tooth whitening commercial model hands down. Not doubt the nearest doctor or dentist is by plane ride. Vitamin D and exposure to sun probably plays as a factor as well.

I seriously doubt they had access to coke and sweets that we do today. Diet would certainly play into it as well as personal hygiene? I will often watch trible life on tv and am most curious about their eating habits.
