So, Mel and I were talking about the dental/sugar thing.

Have you had the chance to talk with locals about what they think of you? (i.e: your perfect teeth and General health) Do they suspect any of these obvious problems with sugar? Do they see their dental problems as a problem? Even a minor one that they are too poor to have the chance to deal with.

When I've talked to Europeans... and when I was in Austraila & New Zealand, they all talked about how Americans are overly concerned with their teeth. They see us as going overboard.
