Chalk's been added to flour for thousands of years. I've read that hills around Rome disappeared into the stomachs of its citizens.

Years ago, I went to an ancient Egyptian exhibit. As part of life, it mentioned tooth wear from the omnipresent sand and grit "naturally" finding its way into flour/meal.

I'm thinking the "Egyptian gods of nature and harvest" weren't involved as much as the academics like to believe.

Thank you. I never understood the logic to that so glad to see someone else not buying it.
