   Transcript of a discussion at a friends house last night:   
   Friend: Did you know that eating human flesh rots your teeth?   
   Me:     Yeah, right.   
   Friend: No, it's true!   
   Me:     You're sure it's not a causative link - some people who eat   
           human flesh have rotten teeth, therefore eating human flesh   
           causes rotten teeth?   
   Friend: No, well it sounds feasible. It stands to reason. Also, you    
           don't get any nutrition from eating human flesh.  It's just like    
           drinking blood - you're better off drinking milk.   
   Me:     ?????   
   Friend: I mean, carrots don't eat carrots, do they?   
   Me:     Huh? Rocks don't eat rocks either.   
   Some conclusions   
   1.  My friends mind is a mess   
   2.  He's obviously picked up this 'eating human flesh causes rotten   
   teeth' UL from somewhere.  Quick searches of dejanews etc revealed   
   nothing in this area. Can anyone point me in the direction of some info   
   on this?   
   3. Nutrition (or lack of) from drinking blood. True/False/Inconclusive?   
      
   Thanks   
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
      
   I read a short story about a doctor whose plane crashed on a deserted island   
   dying of hunger who ate his amputated foot and went insane continued to eat   
   himself and mentions him theorizing the flesh is the reason for his teeth   
   rotting...maybe he read the    
   same story.
