The Mother's Mouth: Why a Cavity at Four Predicts a Heart at Forty

A cavity in a four-year-old and an artery at forty — sounds impossible, until you see the research. Dr.Mark Cannon of Northwestern's Feinberg School of Medicine joins Dr. Adam Brockman for a conversation that starts before a baby's first tooth and reaches all the way into adult heart disease and diabetes. We cover the maternal microbiome, the ultra-processed food policy nobody talks about, the nose you forgot was connected to all of it, and yes — the science behind xylitol that could change how your family thinks about prevention for good.
