They have to be leached in repeated changes of water. Once won't do it.

Toss me on the primitive foods ping list. I had no idea that we even had such a list going.

What next? Lightning-out-of-anus-while-brushing-teeth ping list?

Oops. Have that one too ...

Rotten and broken teeth were common the world over until recently.

The research of dental Doctor Weston Price (early 20th century) gives evidence of a different story. The primitive diets of many peoples over the globe provided excellent teeth and bones. See his book, "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration"--the pictures alone are fascinating.

One web site mentions the "hang the ground acorns in a cloth bag in your toilet tank" method.

Using the kitchen faucet works a lot better; warm running water for about 15 minutes should do it.

Native Americans usually used repeated washings in cold water, so it took a lot longer.

Grinding the acorns in stone bowls and leaching the mixture on a bed of sand added a lot of grit to the diet. This wore the teeth quite a bit, but that, and the lack of sugars, resulted in very few cavities. There was more risk of tooth loss from wearing into the pulp cavity, as in the areas which relied heavily on acorns the teeth were often seriously worn by age 30-40 (especially the first molars).

Uh, yeah, right. (A chiming sound in the background, stifled by the sock BtD is stuffing over the mike.) Unhealthy, well, we wouldn't want...uh...'scuse me for a minute, the microwave is calling to me... ;-)

"Shhhh!!! The movie's about to begin," she whispered, not really hearing what he said over the sounds of crunching popcorn and candy wrappers - her own! ;-)

Actually, quality chocolates and freshly popped popcorn, even if or especially if popped in a little canola oil, can be quite healthful. Tannins, fiber, vitamins.

Correct except for the canola oil part. Canola is one of the worst modern foods in existence. Butter is much healthier.
