I eat using a method I call Mono-Instinctive, where I eat just one thing at a time, depending on what appeals most.

Although this sounds like a healthy snack, it may mean more cavities. Raisins are high in sugar, and when they get stuck in your teeth, there is a much higher incidence of cavity formation.

There are two factors going on here. I'm told most of the fruits eaten by chimps are bitter to the human taste and probably contain little fructose. Also, humans may live to be over 100; chimps seldom make it past 40.
