Have steamed vegetables all my life, am roughly same weight 165lbs as at 15 so no weight problem ever. Good diet all life. At about that same age dentist said i'd be lucky to have one tooth left by 21. i said, you're f*ing kidding, He said no, receding gums are that bad. 4 kids all had braces. Genetic. Still have 4 teeth so beat dentists prediction. Lower denture has a gentle slope rather than the ridge most all have to lock onto. All that to explain why i've eaten less meat as years have passed. Not enough jaw bone for dental implants. Genetics again and maybe some erosion, but never told of any disease, and saw dentists regularly whole life. So eat relatively fairly little meat now and enjoy when i do thanks. No car also an environmental contribution. Enjoy your whatever eating regime.
