After Growing Up in a 'Cult,' Alumna Says Education Was a Way Forward
Dec. 17, 2018
"Did you grow up in a cult? Take this quiz and find out now." As a teenager, Flor Edwards could not get to the quiz in Seventeen magazine fast enough.
"I answered yes to all five questions — and not just yes, but a resounding yes," she said.
The quiz was how Edwards discovered that the first 12 years of her life were unlike those of her peers at the Los Angeles public school she attended. But aside from discussing it with her siblings, Edwards kept this revelation to herself.
"It was a story I stuffed away," she said.
Years later, while pursuing a bachelor's degree in communications at Cal State Fullerton, Edwards said she began to find her voice.
"A big part of my healing process was education," she shared, recalling how learning journalism techniques inspired her to begin penning a memoir and how political science classes prompted her to examine her story in a societal context.
"I wasn't allowed to read or write as a child," said Edwards, who primarily grew up in a compound in Thailand. "But from an early age, I saw this real power in words."
The Titan alumna '11 (B.A. communications) — who went on to earn an M.F.A. in creative writing from UC Riverside and is working toward a second master's degree in English literature at Cal State Long Beach — recently shared insights from her 2018 memoir, "Apocalypse Child: A Life in End Times" during a book discussion hosted by CSUF's Religious Studies Department.
Faculty members Jeanette Reedy Solano and James Santucci led the discussion focusing on The Children of God, a controversial religious movement in which Edwards was raised. Founded in 1968, the group believed that as God's chosen people they would be spared from a looming apocalypse.
"From an academic point of view, The Children of God was a sect (a group that emphasizes certain beliefs of a church while ignoring others) based on Christianity," said Santucci, a professor of religious studies.
"In 1971, however, a number of parents began calling The Children of God a cult (a group not based on a church but some other tradition) because there was a massive recruitment effort and they believed children were being brainwashed."
When the end of the world did not happen in 1993 as predicted, and the group's founder died a year later, Edwards' family left the movement and settled in Southern California.
"It's really interesting to hear about the group from the outside because for me, this was just my life," Edwards reflected before answering some commonly asked questions.
Did you ever have doubts about the teachings of the 'cult'?
"I think I did have questions and doubts, but one of the techniques that the cult had was to inhibit us from thinking critically about anything. If we actually thought about things, if we had our logical minds in place, we would have immediately known something was up."
Do you feel an obligation or desire to counter other 'cults' that are still out there?
"I feel like the right answer should be yes, but in reality, just dealing with my own experience is enough in itself. I'm not that fascinated with cults, and I really don't feel like it's my responsibility to stop them. My responsibility is to find my own voice, talk about it, write about it and open up that conversation."
What's the one thing you want people to know about 'cults'?
"Cults and sects serve a purpose in society. A lot of times people think they're the cause of something, but they're the symptom of something in society. These groups give people a sense of connection, purpose and belonging — these are basic human needs. If you're not getting that, you're going to go somewhere to find that."

The following documents are required by all International Students. For more information, just click on the name of the document.
• Acceptance Document
• I-94 Card
• Passport
• Visa
• Drivers License & ID Cards
• Social Security Card
• SEVIS I-901 Fee
Official ACTCM Acceptance of Admission
When you entered the U.S., the immigration inspector at your port of entry returned page 3-4 of your official acceptance document. This form (or a copy) should be kept with you at all times and NOT be given up when you leave the United States as it will be needed to re-enter the United States after a temporary absence. All records of school transfers, work permission, etc will be recorded on this form. The official acceptance document ID will also have an 11-digit admission number that you will be permanently assigned. This admission number must be used in all correspondence and transactions with DHS.
Students must have their I-20 form endorsed by DSO. DSO stands for "designated school official". DSO's are school and program officials who are authorized to access SEVIS for F students and issue the I-20 on behalf of the college to admitted international students. Only United States permanent residents and citizens may be given access to SEVIS.
The I-20 Form is a United States Department of Homeland Security document issued by colleges, universities, and vocational schools that provides supporting information for the issuance of a student visa or change of status (F non-immigrant statuses). Since the introduction of the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), the form also includes the student tracking number (SEVIS number) for the student and program..
Once you receive your I-20 (total of 3 pages) from ACTCM, please read through it carefully. Then, date and print/sign your name on the bottom of the first page. Finally, bring all three pages of the I-20 form, along with other supportive documents outlined by the US Embassy, to your visa interview.
I-94 Card
This is your Arrival/Departure Record. It is the small white paper usually stapled to the page next to your Visa stamp in your passport. The date written on the lower right hand corner is the date by which you must leave the United States. For F-1 students, duration of status (D/S) is the notation on the I-94. This means that you can legally remain in the United States until you finish your degree program. For exceptions, please see your International Student Advisor.
The expiration date in your passport should always be valid at least 6 months into the future. To extend your passport expiration date, please contact your country's nearest consulate or embassy or come to the Student Services Office for the address.
This is the stamp put in your passport by the United States consul in your home country. You need this Visa only to ENTER the U.S. The date on the Visa shows the latest date you can enter the United States, not how long you can stay here. If it is expired, OR if you change your Visa status while in the United States, you must reapply for a new Visa only if you plan to leave the United States and re-enter. It is not necessary to extend your Visa if you are not planning a trip outside of the U.S.
Driver's License & ID Cards
It is important to carry some form of personal identification with you at all times. Proper identification should include your photograph, name, current address and date of birth. You will be asked for this type of identification when you write checks, open a bank account, use credit cards, etc. It is best not to carry your passport as your main identification, as it could be lost or stolen. The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) offers two types of identification: an Identification Card and a California Driver's license if you are planning to drive during your studies. To apply for either, you must bring your passport, I-94 card and Form I-20 to the nearest DMV.
Social Security Card
F-1 students are eligible to apply for a Social Security card if they are authorized for employment. If the student is not eligible for employment, you may still apply for a Social Security card if:
• A federal law requires you to provide your Social Security number to get a particular benefit or service; or
• A state or local law requires you to provide your Social Security number to get general assistance benefits that you already have qualified for.
SEVIS I-901 Fee Receipt
The U.S. Government has a system known as SEVIS (the Student Exchange Visitor Information System). This system keeps track of foreign students from the moment that a school issues the I-20 form. SEVIS requires a $200 fee to be paid by all foreign nationals who come to the United States for the purpose of pursuing a full course of study at ACTCM. This fee is separate from, and in addition to, the CISL visa application fee. The SEVIS fee must be paid via the Internet or by postal mail. It cannot be paid at a U.S. embassy or consulate, and it cannot be paid at port of entry. CISL offers students a SEVIS Fee payment service allowing applicants to have CISL collect the fee upfront and pay the fee for them.
To complete the I-901 form and pay by credit card online, please visit theStudent and Exchange Visitor Program Processing Website. Be sure to write your name exactly as it appears on your I-20 form, and print a copy of the online receipt. Keep a copy of this receipt with your other important immigration documents.
A paper receipt is not required in order for you to be issued a visa or to be admitted to the U.S. embassies. Consular posts will be able to verify your fee payment without a receipt in most circumstances if you pay the fee far enough in advance of your visa interview. Just remember to pay on time!
Internet payments must be submitted at least 3 business days in advance of your interview if you will rely on electronic fee verification at the consulate. Mailed payments must be sent in a manner that assures arrival at the DHS address listed on the I-901 at least 3 business days before the scheduled interview.
Once paid, the SEVIS fee is non-refundable, even if your visa is denied or, subsequent to issuance of the visa, you choose not to come to the United States. If you reapply for a new F-1 visa within 12 months, you are not required to pay this fee.

Plant-based diets may help protect against oral cancer and periodontal (gum) disease, a leading cause of tooth loss.
Plant-Based Diets: Oral Health
Doctor's Note
Cholesterol buildup, oxidation, and inflammation are the three harbingers of Arterial Acne, the leading cause of the death in the United States. In celebration of National Heart Health Month, watch my video series that begins with Blocking the First Step of Heart Disease.
So, what is a safe intake for cholesterol and saturated fat? See Trans Fat, Saturated Fat, and Cholesterol: Tolerable Upper Intake of Zero. Why is saturated fat intake associated with inflammation? See my three-part series:
- The Leaky Gut Theory of Why Animal Products Cause Inflammation
- The Exogenous Endotoxin Theory
- Dead Meat Bacteria Endotoxemia
For more on the relationship between our diet and sexual function, see:
- Cholesterol & Female Sexual Dysfunction
- Watermelon as Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction
- Atkins Diet: Trouble Keeping It Up
I have lots of videos on oral health. See the topic page, Dental Health, for more.
But wait—what did those two recent studies on plant-based diets have to say? Find out in Plant-Based Diets: Dental Health.

That's interesting. My dentist recently said that I've got almost no dental calculus. I went vegan two years ago.
I had the exact same message from dentist today, 0 tartar!! Never happened before; shortest visit ever. Loving wfpb!
That makes me smile!
Dr. Gregor, are you referring to only animal based sources of saturated fat as causes of the inflammation (amongst lots of other diseases) or are you also including in this causation group the vegan based/plant sources of saturated fat? (such as avocados, nuts, seeds.) Many vegans eat heaps of saturated fat on a daily basis. Could excessive vegan saturated fat intake cause these same ailments you mention in the video(s)?
Avocados, nuts and seeds contain small percentages of saturated fats, the bulk being mono- and poly-unsaturated. The only plant source of saturated fats in high amount are tropical fats (palm, palm kernel, coconut), which are too often hidden in industrial products under the label "vegetable fat" or "vegetable oil".
i know lots of vegans (some that frequent this website) that consume, on average, 2 avocados a day, a handful of walnuts, a cup of pumpkin seeds, macadamia nuts, pecans, ., ….yes, all on a daily basis, often exceeding well over 100 percent of the RDA for saturated fat. If one does the fat analysis using an online app, one will see that just the foods i mentioned above, eaten in liberal amounts that many vegans consume (not all vegans, but a lot), exceeds the 100 percent. When we have vegans out there eating these plant-based -saturated fats, in such liberal quantities, i think it is important for Dr. Gregor to address whether or not the detrimental effects of saturated fats talked about in this video, as well as other videos, applies to plant based saturated fats as well.
…..and what about the vegans amongst us ingesting a couple tablespoons of coconut oil a day? It is easy to over-eat coconut oil, especially when one drops a tablespoon of it intio their salad, bean dish……one ounce of coconut oil, apparently, blows the the 100 percent RDA for saturated fat.
Coconut oil (actually fat) is extremely high in saturated fatty acids, especially lauric – which is as bad as palmitic. Don't use tropical fats, whatever the advertisments of the industy say.
I agree with the ratio issue as both the omega 3 and omega 6 go through the same enzymes that produce the anti inflammatory/anti-clotting and inflammatory/clotting substances our body needs. The target is about 2/1 omega 6 to omega 3 but can be as high as 40/1 in some plant based diets especially with the ingestion of corn oil. I agree that on a whole food plant based diet you should be okay especially if you add in some ground flax or some walnuts. However the amount is also important and depending on one's goals nuts should be limited to around 1 serving per day unless you are very active and can go to 2 servings per day… as general rules which… can vary from individual to individual. Dr. Esselstyn, who has had the most success with patients with clinically apparent heart disease, allows no nuts in his diet due to the saturated fats.
I'm afraid your reasoning is faulty from the beginning. With such a "liberal" intake, one exceeds first of all the RDA for calories – unless he does a lot of physical activity – and then the reasonable percentage of fat – unless he eats a lot more of grains and pulses, in which case the total calories consumed must be very high – back to the same problem thus. The issue with saturated fats is the proportion. Our body synthesizes saturated fats (actually, fatty acids), because it needs them too, in the right proportions, to build membranes with the right structure and permeability. And it also has enzymes (desaturases), which transform saturated fatty acids to unsaturated (especially stearic to oleic). Also, all foods contain saturated fatty acids, none excluded. The real problem is when the proportion of saturated fatty acids (and actually not all of them; the three atherogenic ones, lauric, myristic and palmitic) are too abundant. Which is never the case by consuming unrefined plant foods with the exception of the tropical fats (pal, palm kernel, coconut).
Interesting. I hadn't thought of it that way. It seems like what your are saying is that the ratio of saturated fats, to other fats, if maintained in a proper way, is what determines whether the saturated fat dose is healthy or not. Even so, though, Dr. Gregor does seem to be concerned about the amount of saturated fat one's diet, and once again many vegans out there blow through the 100 percent RDA, many well past 200 percent. Are you saying that this amount, if balanced with other fats, would not be of concern (in regards to the detrimental effects of saturated fats as stated in the video above? Are these excess plant based saturated fats exempt from causing the ailments that the meat, egg, dairy based saturated fats cause, according to Dr. Gregor?
What I'm saying is that one cannot get an excess of saturated fats if he eats a whole-food plant based diet and avoids tropical fats. If his diet contains – say – 10% of fats as saturated fat (thus 90% is unsaturated), that proportion remains the same whether he eats 2000 or 4000 calories. If he is closer to 4000 than 2000, then he's probably eating a too high proportion of fats; which however are still 10% saturated vs. 90% unsaturated. I am NOT saying that a high-fat diet is healthy, of course. I am just saying that until you stick to unrefined, non-tropical fats, the relative amount of saturated fat can hardly be problematic. In such a diet, you have to be careful to the proportions of omega-6 (pro-inflammatory vs omega-3 (anti-inflammatory), which in the Western diet, and especially in the SDA, is far definitely unbalanced toward the former.
correct me if i'm wrong, but following your logic (in regards to fat ratios and omega types of fat, salmon is no worse off in its fat ratio and content than many healthful plant based fats. And the same could then me said for some types of meat. Look at the ratio of saturated fat to other types of fat in salmon. Doesn't seem to bad to me. Same goes for lots of other non-vegan foods.
Sure. But the problem of animal products is far from being limited to their fat content. We are not made to eat animal proteins – Dr. Greger has a nice video about the IGF-1 raising effect of animal proteins; also, they are generally more acidifying than plant proteins and also require a more acidic environment in the stomach to be digested. And you do not eat fish or meat raw, just hunted, do you? Cooking produces heterocylic amines. Also, cholesterol is partly oxidized and when you eat stored and cooked meat or fish you get cholesterol oxides, which are highly atherogenic. You cannot reduce the health effect of a food, whether it is plant or animal, to one component, unless you are speaking of separated fats (oils, margarines, solid fats) which are practically 100% fat.
yes, but i brought all this up in reference to the video Dr. Greger put out on saturated fats and their detrimental effects. I am sticking to the thread of this, and think, as a vegan, it is important to address if excess saturated fats, (when eaten in excess) from plant-based sources can/do cause the same/similar negative consequences that meat dairy egg based sources cause as Dr. Greger states in the video above, as well as other videos. I think you are bringing something else into this (and what you are saying has merit, believe me), but i think it is mutually exclusive from the video's premise.
And let's not forget the FDA recommends limiting fish servings to 3 times per week due to its' polluted meat. As far as I am concerned, 1 serving of mercury and such is too much. Definitely isn't appetizing.
yes, you are right on limiting fish due to…….
but keep in mind, let us stick to the premise of the video, as to what i have suggested as a reason for concern, and hope that someone on this website with knowledge and wisdom on this matter will contribute their expertise: do high saturated fats from plant based sources, when ingested in large amounts that exceed the 100% RDA for saturated fat (sometimes doubling and tripling the RDA) cause the same detrimental effects that meat dairy egg based sources do in the the above video? i have deep concern for many vegans i know, in this regard, as many are ingesting well over 200 percent of the RDA for saturated fat, maybe 350 days a year. are they prone to the same ailments suggested by the video, or are plant-based saturated fats, when eaten in excess, exempt from causing this harm, as it pertains specifically to the video's premise?
The saturated fat in coconuts may be bad in theory but not in practice. Pacific islanders who get as much as 63% of there calories from coconuts did indeed have higher serum cholesterol, but very little heart disease. Of course the difference was that they ate their coconuts whole and got very little cholesterol from their diets otherwise- plus they consumed no foods with added sugar. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7270479
I believe that you should avoid regular consumption of the tropical oils which are high in saturated fat. Of course the animal sources come with other substances both natural (e.g. cholesterol) and man made (e.g. persistent organic pollutants, mercury, arsenic) that contribute to inflammation and chronic conditions. If you have not already seen it view…. http://nutritionfacts.org/video/does-coconut-oil-clog-arteries/.
I used to have to have my teeth cleaned 3x per year due to massive plaque buildup, especially around the lower front teeth. I would use a paperclip to easily dislodge chunks of plaque down there! Since going vegan 5 years ago I have had virtually no plaque buildup at all. Due to lack of insurance and money, I went almost 3 years without a cleaning and when I finally went, no plaque! I've often wondered if there is a relationship between that plaque buildup and the plaque in our arteries. My dentist said no, but when this came up in conversation with a dental technician recently, she noted having seen an article in one of the dental journals suggesting there is.
Been Vegan for over three years now. I went to the dentist and she said "I don't know how you keep your mouth so clean, but keep it up!" Awesome video.
Some other studies in support of this discussion: Inflammation – http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20425759. Artierial dysfunction: http://media2.newsnet5.com/uploads/WEWS_EffectsOfSupplementalPhytonutrients.pdf. Periodontitis: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1600-051X.2011.01793.x/pdf
Hi Dr. Gregor: Could you please do a video on testosterone in vegans vs. non-vegans. In my case, my testosterone rose slowly over 2 years from 269 ng/dl as an omnivore (285 lbs, Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, statins) to where it is now at 1111 ng/dl after being on a 100% whole plant vegan diet for the past two years (now zero meds, 180 lbs, 114 cholesterol, normal glucose). My main point here is that med literature (what I can find on the Internet) seems to suggest that testosterone declines with age. I do not believe that, I believe testosterone declines with declining health, which declines faster on the SAD but not on a vegan diet as we age. I am 53, and my testosterone appears to be at the high end of the range for an 18 year old according to the charts I see. Any info on point about this, or a video, would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
I'm very sorry I misspelled your name, which I know is Dr. Greger. :)
Your wish = my command: How Plant-Based to Lower IGF-1?
Dr. Greger, as always you are awesome. Thank you. :)
You have to be careful when talking about numbers and aging. Most studies are done on patients who are on the standard American diet. The ingestion of meats often brings with them male hormones used mainly in the beef industry. I think it is clear that going on a plant based diet doesn't feminize men or interfere with their fertility. It is somewhat complex as low fat plant based diets also increase the binding protein in the blood so you may not have as much free testosterone. Since higher testosterone is associated with prostate cancer I'm not sure I want higher levels. The increase in your testosterone is higher then the literature and my clinical experience. I think it is more important to look at how well you are functioning as opposed to absolute values. I believe the best science at this point supports a whole food plant based diets with avoidance of GMO foods plus adequate Vitamin B12. Congratulations on your success and as always if you experience any clinical symptoms you need to discuss with your physician. Together you and s/he are the best ones to interpret the significance of specific lab values .
Thanks for the great videos and info, Dr. Gregor!
To what extent are these effects a result of actually chewing the food versus simply ingesting the food? I ask because a somewhat considerable proportion of my typical daily veggie and fruit intake is in blended form via my Vitamix. Am I reaping all the benefits these studies cite, or am I missing out due to not chewing all my food?
Steve E.: Excellent question! I don't have the full answer, but I do remember a series of videos that Dr. Greger did that showed that chewing certain foods and getting the saliva going had an effect. I think it was about broccoli and energy/work outs? I don't remember enough to look it up. I remember Dr. Essyelstyn saying something like: you shouldn't drink smoothies to get the best effect of your food for a healthy heart. He talked about the importance of chewing. Again, sorry I don't have the details.
Also, I remember the series Dr. Greger did on nuts. Check out the videos on reasons why nuts (may) not contribute to weight gain despite their high calorie and high fat content. One of those reasons had to do with the body simply not digesting all of the nuts, some chunks pass through. At least that is what I remember. So, here's my personal thought as it relates to your post: If you make a smoothy with nuts or seeds, then you are getting chunks of nuts that can pass through undigested.
All of which makes me think that chewing really is important – whether it applies to this question of oral disease or not.
That said, if you are consuming a whole plant-food based diet which happens to include some vegan smoothies, you are miles and miles above what so many other people are eating. I'm sure your diet consists of more than *just* smoothies and that you also get some fruits and veggies threw chewing. So my thought is: If you love smoothies a lot, maybe the question is not worth fretting over.
Good luck. I hope someone can give you a better answer.
The Vitamix does function much like your teeth in help breaking up the food. However we are designed as hind gut fermenting herbivores which have evolved from great apes to have more amylase genes and increased volume in our small intestine to absorb digested starches. Amylase is the enzyme that digests starches. Our salivary glands are one source of amylase so by chewing food in your mouth you release amylase to help digest starches. By swallowing smoothies I would imagine you add alot less amylase to aid in digestion. Now downstream in the intestine your pancreas adds more amylase to the mix but the upstream amylase gives you a head start in digesting your starches. There are other functions that are important in the mouth such as the nitrate to nitrite cycle… see videos..http://nutritionfacts.org/video/priming-the-proton-pump/ and http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dont-use-antiseptic-mouthwash/ . Smoothies are a good way to get your greens but there is value to chewing your food to aid the digestion of starches. I'm sure as science progresses we will find other benefits to chewing such as getting the benefits from crushing broccoli see… http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-best-detox/. What works for each individual varies for instance if you lack teeth blending would be helpful. You need to keep tuned to Nutrition.Facts.org as the science keeps coming…
Thanks for the info, Dr. Forrester!
Interesting that the nitrate to nitrite videos involved drinking beet juice, rather than chewing the beets. Seems they got the benefits of the beets just from the beet juice passing through the mouth in that case.
I've seen the broccoli video before. I thought about this question when I watched that, too, but then I thought, what crushes and mixes broccoli better than a Vitamix? Seems like you just need to bust it open to get the beneficial reaction, and I'd assume either teeth or high speed steel blades would get the job done.
Nevertheless, I had a big salad for lunch, including broccoli, and ate it the "old-school" way. I chewed it ;-)
You can bet I'll stay tuned to the site. Great stuff, Dr. Greger (my apologies for the name misspelling in my original post!). Would love to see any research analysis on this topic specifically…all the pros and cons of blending vs. chewing. I'm pretty sure Dr. Greger uses a Vitamix himself on occasion (I recall that from his interview on Rich Roll's podcast), so I imagine it's something he's put some thought into.
This is a really fascinating topic. I was wondering about the impact this diet might have on my dentition. We must not be complacent and stop brushing/flossing, however. Eating plant-based helps, but we have to do other things too. Just like exercising, for our cardiovascular health. There is no one panacea.
Dear dr. Greger,
Thank you for sharing all this incredible information! As much as it is helpful, I can't seem to find an adequate answer to the following question:
What exactly constitutes a plant-based diet?
Considering the importance of this diet one comes to understand when viewing many of the videos, I would have expected to find general information on how to start eating such a diet, yet, I can only find information on the effects of a plant-based diet, not on the diet itself.
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer me!
Find the free app Dr Greger's Daily Dozen for ios or andriod. Absolutely the best decision for my family to know what a wholefood plant based diet looks like and change to if. There's now a book How Not To Die. A Facebook group by the same name helps with any questions. November 2016
I am so happy to have discovered your website! I would like to know if I may Tweet or link to you from my web blog? May I recommend that you include Dental Hygienists or say Dental Professionals along with Dentists. Dental Hygienists are usually the ones treating gingivitis/periodontal disease and alerting the dentist of suspected dental lesions. Also, several states now have Expanded Practice Dental Hygienists allowing them to work independent of Dentists, such as Oregon, (my state), California, Colorado, etc., including Canada. Thank so much.
eating chicken used to give me inflamed gums every time within 30mins, which took at least 2 weeks to heal.
After watching this video , I realise that perhaps I was not imagining things. Sometimes I found that white rice did this too. My gum will recede and turn red, and quite painful. There was a lot of plaque build-up too before I switched to a plant based diet.
Since going on a plant based diet for a few months my gums feel nice and firm i.e. my teeth do not feel wiggly, and no adverse reaction to anything that I consume. Needless to say, now I am back on a plant based diet for good – it was a no-brainer.

(Funny, a colleague who ate only raw plants was recruited as subject for local dental college–to demo tooth wear rarely seen in the west. So-o, plant fiber physically scrubbed his teeth in addition to nutritional benefits!)
My question for Dr. Greger is why do I have periodontal disease really bad in one area of my mouth when I have been eating a whole food, organic, vegan diet for twenty years? And, the author Ramiel Nagel in his book, Cure Tooth Decay, states that vegan diets are not natural (not seen in any human tribe or group) and not optimal for dental health and will ultimately fail. The reasons being that for healthy teeth one needs fat soluble vitamins and animal foods are the primary source, and vegan diets are typically too high in sugar, no matter what the source (ie fruits, sweeteners, etc.). Although he does state that avocado, sprouted nuts, natto, cold pressed olive oil, coconut oil are began sources of fat soluble vitamins. Here is a link to his book: http://www.curetoothdecay.com/Tooth_Decay/tooth_cavity_vegan.htm
As you can see Nutrition facts position is nearly the opposite of Ramiel Nagel. One promotes a vegan diet and the other promotes animal foods for optimal dental health. So, what is the correct or best diet and way to maintain )ie which mouthwash, which toothpaste, oil pulling, protocol, etc.) healthy teeth and gums?
Thanks for asking the question. Im looking forward to a reply as I've been wondering the same thing.
Brushing between your teeth is more important than brushing your teeth.
I know plenty of animal food eaters with terrible teeth and gums.
If eating meat was so good for teeth there would be a lot of unemployed dentists.
Try rinsing your mouth daily with one level teaspoon of salt mixed with warm water.
Does we should accept our dentist advice ,and let him pull out ours wisdom teeth?
Is there really a risk for our dental health if we decide to not doing an extraction of the wisdom teeth .
I did an extraction of my wisdom teeth,and I do not quite feel satisfied with this decision.
My dentist says a vegan diet is "one of the worst" for oral health, because "the teeth are the first bits of bone to have nutrients like Vitamin K and Calcium stripped from them when I'm not getting them from diary or meat, making them more susceptible to decay."
Is there any truth to this? And if there is, will a whole foods plant based diet actually deliver all the nutrients needed for healthy teeth that supposedly "don't exist anywhere but in meat"?
Regards, Brendan.
Brenden, I'm glad you are carefully considering your dentist's words, since he clearly is not a knowledgeable source for nutritional information. First, it is entirely incorrect to say a vegan is not obtaining Vit K and calcium, simply because meat and diary are not being consumed. Please review the following three videos to reassure yourself that a plant-based diet can certainly provide you with needed Calcium and Vitamin K: https://nutritionfacts.org/video/what-are-the-healthiest-foods/
You then may want to share these with your dentist so s/he can stop sharing nutritional mis-information and learn healthier ways to promote dental health!
To your good health, teeth and all,
I just started a plant based diet and Im wondering if I can do oil pulling (coconut oil) while following this diet? … before starting this diet, i was oil pulling for 20 min. every other morning …. i spit out the oil once I'm done so I wouldn't be ingesting any of it … is it ok to add my oil pulling regimen into this diet?
Can Dr. Greger address the research in the last two years stating there is a causality between periodontal disease (PD) and cardio-vascular disease (CVD)? PD is an inflammatory disease that is bacterial in origin and usually chronic. People in the dental community are stating that PD can cause/causes CVD . This seems like a case of what came first, the chicken or the egg? I am a WFPB dentist that has examined thousands of mouths, mainly adults and geriatric patients. Although I for sure think there are correlations, I tend question this claim. Logically, it seems that poor diet (SAD) and lifestyle leads to increased systemic inflammation thus resulting in the plethora of chronic inflammatory diseases that plague our society.
Why exactly do we get oral sore? Since I had gone vegan, I never had it again
so I assum animal products are responsible for this. Or may be salty or sugary
Please do share some stuff or any blog for people who wear braces or Invisalign . This needs some more attention for awareness of those who does not know much about these stuff.
I tried doing vegan for a year, and my gums started receding and I've got two cavities now (I've never had cavities before, ever).
What is the best plant based vegan option for toothpaste?

Well, we had warned hockey fans that a short, compacted season would be full of surprises, and to expect the unexpected.
But if we told you before the puck dropped this season that a midseason matchup between the Vancouver Canucks and Columbus Blue Jackets would feature a club in disarray, having won only three times in 12 games, against a red-hot squad with five straight wins, well, I think we all know which club you have guessed was which.
That Tuesday night's encounter in Columbus in fact pits the streaking Jackets hosting the slumping Canucks, well, I guess that just goes to prove a 48-game season is indeed open to almost anything.
So you might as well believe this, too: If the Jackets beat the Canucks in regulation Tuesday night, they'll be only two points behind them in the jam-jar standings of the Western Conference.
What in the wild, wild world of sports is going on, you say?
Let's start in Vancouver, where the city's all-sports radio station The Team 1040 was lit up with distressed Canucks fans over the past 36 hours. A glimpse at Tuesday's stories in the Vancouver Province and the Vancouver Sun gives you a flavor of where things stand in a city that has Cup expectations again this season but has seen its team slip down to sixth in the Western standings.
Credit to Canucks GM Mike Gillis, who returned my call Monday in all this madness. The disappointment in his voice was clearly detectable three time zones away before he jumped on a plane.
"Our team hasn't played well for a little bit now, and we need to get it sorted out," Gillis told ESPN.com. "Missing Kesler and Bieksa has been tough, but it gives other guys a chance to step up and do more. We have to keep pushing and get back to a level that's acceptable."
No question, the injuries to No. 2 center Ryan Kesler and top-four blueliner Kevin Bieksa have hurt the club. The Canucks are just never the same when Kesler isn't doing his thing; it puts too much pressure on the Sedin twins to deliver on the top line, while Bieksa in many ways is the face of the team.
Having said that, this is the season of the injury in the NHL. Every team is going through it. Do you think the Ottawa Senators are feeling bad for the Canucks?
And so, the issues run deeper:
• The Canucks' power play stinks. Mired in an 0-for-23 slump, it's fallen to 24th in the NHL. This is a unit that was fourth overall last season and topped the NHL in 2010-11.
"You need more than two power plays a game to get it going," Gillis said. "We're not generating enough push to create penalties."
• The team is in dire need of help at center. It's been playing all season without a real No. 3 center, and with Kesler once again out, there's no No. 2 center for the moment. It's hard to win in this league without a No. 2 or a No. 3 center.
• Then there's the goalie drama. Roberto Luongo awaits his trade, although he's been a terrific pro about it and hasn't made waves. But his mere presence, some will argue, has affected Cory Schneider's ability to establish himself as a No. 1 netminder. Luckily, the two goalies get along. The question is, is it a distraction for the two netminders and for the team in general?
"One of the reasons that you are All-Star players is that you can overcome distractions," Gillis said. "These guys have won the Jennings Trophy [awarded to goalies who've allowed the fewest goals against] together. I don't think it's a distraction in that dressing room. I think it's an excuse for play that isn't as good as what we've come to accept."
Easier said than done, but this team needs a trade before April 3. It needs a No. 3 center.
In Vancouver's defense, there hasn't been a lot of trade activity so far. With the standings so close, few teams are sellers yet.
"You can try and be as active as you want, but the fact remains you still have to find something that is going to help your team," Gillis said. "It's going to prove awfully difficult to do."
The answer, for now, has to come within. All eyes in that dressing room will turn to Luongo, who gets the start Tuesday night after Schneider carries the bulk of the starts over this 12-game stretch. Time for Bobby Lu to stop the bleeding.
Meanwhile, the Canucks' opponents on this night can do no wrong these days. And it's not very often over the past decade you could ever say that about the Blue Jackets. Winners of five straight, including a weekend sweep of Detroit, the Jackets have impressed with their work ethic and relentlessness.
The recent hiring of Jarmo Kekalainen as GM somehow has woken up the league's perennial doormat.
"The credit for this late success has to go to the right people: It belongs to the coaching staff and the players who have worked extremely hard and finally see some rewards for it," Kekalainen told ESPN.com on Monday.
This is an evaluation period for Kekalainen. He's taking stock of what he has before he begins molding this team to his liking over the next few years. He's obviously not going to lose sight of his long-term goals just because his club has won five straight.
"I always would look at the situation the same way to do everything possible to improve our team," he said. "I've talked about how sustained success is our main goal, not only to get to the top of the league but to stay there. That basically doesn't change if you win five in a row or if you lose five in a row. You keep the same mindset, you have to do everything you can to improve the team, not only to be more competitive right now but also and mainly to achieve that sustained [long-term] success."
Still, it raises the question: If the Jackets get even closer to a playoff spot over the next three weeks, how does that affect his trade deadline strategy?
"You have time until the deadline to make moves to try to improve your team for this season, but also beyond that, and we're going to use all that time to evaluate what we have in here and what we have that potentially could help us if we're talking to other teams," Kekalainen said. "I would always stay away from making any moves that are based on urgency and that are reacting to the situation at hand."
In other words, the new GM is pleased with the way his players have reacted over the past few weeks. But the long-term view won't deviate. He's been hired to rebuild this team, and he's got three first-round picks in the June draft to help kick-start that process.
Still, the five-game win streak has been enjoyable to watch.
"Those guys are working hard, and it's great to see them getting rewarded," Kekalainen said. "I'm really happy for the all the guys in that room, they've played with heart, character and intensity. Those are key ingredients even with the teams that will have bigger names and more skill than our team. If you want to be an elite team in this league, you have to have character."

I don't know where to start with this book. I initially got it because of Jenn Im who included this in her books to read video. She said that it was something I HAD to read.
Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to walk to food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women are no longer allowed to read. She must lie on her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are valued only if their ovaries are viable. Offred can remember the years before, when she lived and made love with her husband, Luke; when she played with and protected her daughter; when she had a job, money of her own, and access to knowledge. But all of that is gone now.
I definitely have mixed feelings about this book. A part of me completely hates it and a part of me wishes I understood it a bit better. When I have moments like these, I go search Google for other people's review about it. Here's my fave one from Goodreads.
The Handmaid's Tale is told in first person by a woman who's lived in our present day (more or less), as well as in this dark fundamentalist Tomorrowland. She's gone from wearing flip-flops and sundresses to a full-body religious habit, color-coded red to match her subservient role. She was married once, had a child. Now she's another's property, one of the handmaids sent from one man's house to another. The hope is that she will become pregnant when a prominent man's wife cannot. Her life has been flipped and made forfeit. She lives in fear and depression and abuse. This is meant to make me unnerved, and it does.
There's a question I have that never gets answered, not properly at least. How did this happen so quickly? How did we go from "burning bras" to having every part of our lives regulated? Why did it take Massachusetts decades, centuries, to reject puritanism, but only a few years(?) to reject liberalism?
Rights can erode, but you don't see it happen on such a large scale and so seamlessly, and not overnight. Nothing happens overnight, especially not governmental takeovers in relatively stable, secular societies, which is the book's scenario. –Goodreads
When reading books, I really appreciate reading a solid and well-established backstory Every time I read a book that lacks that, I'm instantly on the fence about it. This is exactly what happened to me.
We are thrown into a world where women aren't valued. They are given roles – some are respectable while some are downright messed up. This kind of world seems possible however it wasn't clearly explained how this was happened and how it happened all too fast. It's like someone said this should be the new norm and people just accepted it. It felt lacking – I couldn't connect with it even if I tried.
I always give books (and series) a chance even if I feel like I can't connect with it. I did set aside my questions and tried to get absorbed by the book. It did. I felt the sadness, fear, anxiety, and hopelessness of the protagonist. Somewhere along the way, however, she lost me. It was beginning to be quite the ride but then she surrendered to her sexuality and desires and then she lost me. There she was living as a handmaid, the worst way to live in this dystopian novel and she forgot everything once she finally had consensual sex. She was willing to adjust just because she found a little solace.
While reading the reviews and trying to understand this book. The word feminism always came up. I think what transpired in this book is every feminist's worst nightmare. Scratch that, I think it is every woman's nightmare. No woman should be allowed to be labeled and treated as a possession rather than an actual human being. However, if this were to happen in real life, it shouldn't only be a woman's fight. Every person should stand up and fight for this kind of injustice. Should men also just be reduced to sperm donors, guards, or chauffeurs? I think the word feminism was thrown around hastily when analyzing this book. This dystopia doesn't just demean women, it demeaned everyone.
Let me warn you, the book is open-ended. I hate these types of endings as it doesn't give me a proper ending. It leaves the reader (or viewer) to decide what kind of ending they choose to have. And as predicted, I hated that it ended this way. I kept on flipping the pages hoping to read more but I didn't get that. I was just left there wanting to read about how the protagonist died instead of leaving me hanging there and wanting more. I wanted closure.
Overall, I'm at a loss for this book. I would want to read it again and hopefully then find more meaning in it. I find this book a little too much for me (I guess dystopian books aren't my thing) and have found zero joy in reading it. There are some good lines taken from the book but as a whole, I just couldn't relate to it. It doesn't empower me nor does it teach me anything. If anything, it shows me a possibility – one I believe humans aren't going to succumb to anytime soon. We are better than that, right?

Hollywood actor Robin Williams will be laid to rest in San Francisco.
Susan Schneider, the third wife of the 63-year-old actor - who committed suicide on Monday - is reportedly planning a "very private" funeral in the Bay Area, and family members, including his 31-year-old son Zak, have begun flying into town ahead of the service.
According to a source, the memorial will be intimate and for close friends and family - including his younger children Zelda, 25, and Cody, 22 - only.
The source told E! News: "It's not official yet, but that's the plan. It will be small. They were both very private people."
In addition to the private service, the source claims a comedy benefit night will be held for the public in honour of the Hook actor.
The tribute will take place at the Throckmorton Theatre in Mill Valley, California, some time in the next few weeks, but nothing has yet been finalised.
The venue cancelled their planned show on Tuesday out of respect for the popular local star.
Announcing their decision, the theatre said: "We are in deep mourning for our dear friend and incredible human being, Robin Williams. Tomorrow's Mark Pitta & Friends show has been cancelled. We ask for your understanding at this time."
Following Robin's shock death, Susan - who married the Aladdin star in 2001 - said she was "utterly heartbroken" by the loss of her "best friend".
She said in a statement: "This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken. On behalf of Robin's family, we are asking for privacy during our time of profound grief. As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not be on Robin's death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to millions."
While his three children also paid emotional tributes in separate statements.
The late star will also be honoured during a special segment at the upcoming Emmy Awards.
Organisers of the 66th annual event, set to take place in Los Angeles on August 25, plan to include plenty of tributes to the 63-year-old actor.
Executive producer of the star-studded ceremony Don Mischer told PEOPLE.com: "Plans for the In Memoriam segment are in discussion. While we are all still coming to terms with this week's tragic news, we are working to give Robin Williams the proper and meaningful remembrance he so well deserves."
The In Memoriam section of the ceremony usually pays tribute to Hollywood stars and respected members of the film industry who died over the previous year.

Can someone advise how to unscrew adaptor 28x1.5 from the valve? Is there any special tool (some sort of screwdriver?) that can be used?
The problem is that I can unscrew the valve from radiator together with adaptor, the adaptor stays inside the valve. Therefore, I cannot adjust position of the screen which is very annoying. It also looks like the adapter is made from very soft plastic, therefore, I'm afraid to broke it. I would really appreciate your help.

Re: How to unscrew 28x1.5 adaptor from valve
I had that problem once... I used lubricating oil and pliers, it took a while, but I managed to do it without damaging the adaptor. Once you have lubricated it you only have to move it a little, so the oil penetrates in the grooves of the adaptor and then it becomes easier to remove.
Re: How to unscrew 28x1.5 adaptor from valve
Thanks for your advice re lubricating, it helped )

As new ways of video marketing continue to grow, it's time to check in and see if you're using enough live video at your business.
According to Tubular Insights, viewers spend 8X longer with live video than on-demand: 5.1 minutes for on-demand vs. 42.8 minutes for live video content. As brands compete for eyeballs in the newsfeed, live is a key differentiator.
[source: Livestream.com]
Below are 4 different ways you can use Facebook live video, Instagram live video, and Periscope live video to engage more with your followers.
1. Teach Them Something
Business are built on expertise. Whether you have an array of amazing products or you provide specialized services to your clients, your business is good at something that most people are not. You can turn that knowledge into content to help gain followers and increase your presence. Live video is a great place to teach your followers something knew, and establish your credibility as an expert in your field.
Coming up with what to teach is the easy part. Let's break it down. Do you sell a product? If so, what skills and ideas went into the creation of that product? You can take each of these and break it down even further to figure out what to teach your customers.
Here's an example. Let's say I own Cindy's Flower Shop. As a florist I need to know things like:
- How to cut the bottoms of your flowers to make them last longer
- What do different flowers mean and why? (Love, Sorrow, etc.)
- Things to consider when making arrangements
This formula can be used for any business to create live video content, whether product or service based.
2. Q&A Sessions
No I know what you're thinking, "But what if I do my video and no one comes on to ask questions?" That's fine! Before you start your video put together a list of questions to get things started. You can also tease your live video in advance to build your list. Spend a week leading up to the video with posts like "Hey guys, what questions do you have about our business that we can answer for you?" Then once you have your list, you can start off answering from this built up list of questions. People will watch to hear your answers and most likely have follow up questions as well!
3. Present Your Products
Presenting your products is one of the biggest sources of content that you can have as a brand. This can include testimonials, tutorials, or before and after videos.
Have a cheerleader for your brand? Put them on camera! Let them rave about how much they love your product and ask them how they use it every day. Getting your customers on camera is a great way to increase engagement. Followers like to see other followers interacting with brands.
Sometimes your product isn't always easy to get testimonials for. Let's say you own a restaurant, how do you get your customers to give testimonials about your food? Run a brief promo, and tease it in advance. "On Wednesday only, if you come in during the lunch hour and tell us your favorite order on our livestream we'll give you $1 off your meal."
With a little bit of creativity you can come up with many different ideas to show off your customers with live video!
Tutorial sessions can quickly transform into interactive Q&A's with your followers talking directly with your instructors asking questions and learning more about what makes your products great!
4. Show Your Services
Service-based businesses often struggle with perfecting their inbound marketing. One of the struggles of a service based business is that often, the best parts of your work end up not making it into the spotlight. With live video you can not only show these important parts of your services, but you can show these efforts over time and give followers an idea of what its like to interact with your team.
Here are some ideas of how you can show off your services in live videos:
- Give tours of your current project
- Talk through (and show) the steps you took to complete a project
- Show off some cool equipment
- Live stream a meeting or brainstorming session
We are in the process of putting together an exhaustive list of live streaming content ideas. Check back later to find ideas specific to your industry!
Need Help Making Your First Live Video?
We've got your back. Our team of creative professionals has experience creating videos for a wide variety of businesses and applications. We can help give you that polish that makes your customers say wow. Don't hesitate, come be bold with us.

In generally, airplane luggage compartments are pressurized but not at sea level. It's generally assumed that the under-floor luggage compartment area is pressured to 8,000 feet above sea level, which is enough to push corks out of wine bottles bottled at sea level. So while it's better than being unpressurized, especially when cruising at 30,000 feet, it's certainly not the same as being at sea level.
Another, similar concern, is temperature. Luggage compartments are almost never temperature controlled. It's generally recommended that you keep sensitive medication on your person during travel (especially if you need it and in the event the airline loses your luggage).
There are some cases, especially in smaller plans, where the luggage compartments are pressurized the same as the cabin itself. In these smaller planes, there's no separate luggage area and so luggage is stored in another part of the airplane. The smaller the plane, the more likely this will be the case.
When it doubt, check with the airline to see if the compartment is pressurized or temperature controlled. It will depend on the model of your aircraft and only your airline will know the specific details.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Yesterday I was thunderstruck.
That's the word for it exactly, though there was no actual thunder.
All I wanted to do was crawl back into bed and burrow deeply under the covers as though rain was pouring down in torrents outside my windows. When I closed my eyes I could hear it rumbling and thundering across my tin roof, could feel the weight of that rain, heavy and thick, weighing down my heart and making my mind feel dull and leaden.except there was no rain. Hunh!
I was having one of those days where the sinking feeling rolled over my head just about the time my coffee was ready in the morning and I was glad of having a machine that made 3 cups at a time.
You know the feeling right? We all have these days where despite the sunshine clearly visible through the windows, it feels like the world has gone grey and fallen into a kind of lustreless fog.
It's a place I know I can get stuck if I don't start paying attention fast.
And what is this thing that weighs me down? What is this blanket of grey sogginess that I awoke underneath? The thing that sticks me fast and holds me tightly in its grip this morning? It's called doubt.
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="3/4″][vc_single_image image="24741″ img_size="full" alignment="right"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/4″][vc_separator color="black"][vc_column_text]We have all experienced that feeling of being stuck in doubt. It's completely human.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It's a short word filled with a hundred years worth of stickiness.
It can feel like a too-deep well, or a too-big ocean, or just too much darkness. However we experience it, it can stop us cold, a stand-still and as Isaac Newton stated a body in stasis will remain unmoving until an external force acts upon it.
Another version comes from the Bhagavad Gita where the prince Arjuna is so immobilised by doubt that he "sank down into the chariot and dropped his arrows and bow, his mind heavy with grief".
That pretty much summed up my morning, and we've all been there, right?
Doubt holds us fast, stuck as it were, to the bottom of our chariot, unable to choose what to do. Doubt is defined in several traditions as "a thought that touches both sides of a dilemma at the same time." So we get stuck in between.
But the bills have to get paid, the kids off to school, dogs walked, all those things that pull on us to keep going. To pick ourselves up off the floor of our own chariot and start again.
Because that's what it felt like to me- starting again.
And I managed to do it. Not easy, but simple.
Simple was the only way I was going to get through yesterday.
[/vc_column_text][mk_blockquote style="line-style" font_family="PT+Sans+Narrow" font_type="google" font_size_combat="true" text_size="25″]"ANY ACTION CAN HELP US GET ROLLING AGAIN. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A BIG ACTION."[/mk_blockquote][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="3/4″][vc_single_image image="24625″ img_size="full" alignment="right"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/4″][vc_separator color="black"][vc_column_text]Take in a new view and take a short breathing break.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]So here's what worked for me, and I offer it as a template for you when these days come rolling into your life.
Shift Out of Doubt in 5 Steps:
1. Ground your feet and stretch you arms upward. Breath in deeply. Oxygen helps break up the torpor.
2. Grab a pad and pen and a cup of coffee and make a list of no more than 5 things you really need to do before Noon.
3. Take a shower- seriously! Wake yourself up with soap and water.
4. Put on fresh clothes, (doubt often clothes itself in yesterday's jeans or shirt).
5. Go to your job/office, or start at once on the first thing on your list. (You can make a new list if needed for your afternoon).
Action breaks up doubt.
The good news is that ANY action can help us get rolling again. It doesn't have to be a big action. Positive Psychology tells us that 'Kaizen' change, small steps of action, actually create better and more sustainable change than big jumps.
So the next time doubt sticks you to the floor of your chariot- don't worry about winning the race you are in, just start by lifting your feet, taking up the reins again, and urging the horses into a trot.

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#realestate–Duval and Stachenfeld LLP hosted their first annual women's real estate
roundtable on Thursday, February 2nd. The event featured a

The panel focused on issues such as what is the outlook for real estate
under the new administration, what trends are being seen, and how women
in real estate can learn from each other and help one another in their
careers. The panel discussion also touched on challenges faced by
retailers in the current market and what approach some retailers might
take to remain competitive. Terri Adler, moderator of the panel, said
about the event, "It was so great to see so many women in the real
estate world come together to learn from one another. I think the event
really showed how women are a force in the real estate world and are
only going to continue to grow within this field."

the event is 100% due to the efforts of the team at D&S."

Williamsburg is so cute, with lots of restaurants I would love to eat at (even though clientele may not be my particular mix of friends). I'm always drawn to the water, and naturally, wound up stumbling upon gorgeous views of the city. Notice in the last pic how smiley I am, especially because I am wearing my sailboat sweater.

High School Boys Basketball: Cold shooting fells Wilton against Westhill
STAMFORD -- The shots just weren't falling for the Wilton High boys basketball team.
The Warriors, who pride themselves on shooting at a high percentage, couldn't hit the bottom of the net consistently against Westhill, and the Vikings' duo of Jeremiah Livingston and Evan Skoparantzas were thorns in their sides in a 51-43 FCIAC loss to the Vikings on Monday at Westhill High.
Wilton had its two-game winning streak snapped and slipped to 3-2 overall, 1-2 FCIAC while Westhill, which was knocked out of the FCIAC playoffs a season ago by the Warriors, improved to 4-1, 2-1.
"We've been scoring in the 60s but tonight we just weren't making our shots and when we had open shots we didn't make them," Wilton head coach Joel Geriak said. "We also made some careless turnovers, probably in the 15 to 20 range."
Livingston, a standout guard, led all scorers with 25 points and also had 7 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 assists while Skoparantzas, a 6-4 forward, had a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds, and added 3 assists.
"Evan is a blue-collar worker and someone I wish I had on my team, and Livingston is one of the best players in the league for a reason," Geriak said.
For Wilton, Eric Houska finished with 13 points, including three 3-pointers, and 2 rebounds, Matt Shifrin had 7 points and 6 assists and Peter Ciaccio pulled down 9 rebounds.
Things couldn't have started any better for the Warriors as they raced out to a 9-0 lead with 2:39 left in the first quarter. Shifrin had 3 assists during the run.
Getting off to slow starts has been a problem for the Vikings, head coach Howard White said.
"We were getting too lax and that's something that concerns me," he said. "I don't know what it is but it'll take some time. When you come out like that against good teams, you're going to be in trouble.
"Wilton is a team that's going to surprise a lot of people in the end," White added.
Following a time-out, the Vikings answered with their own 9-0 run to tie the game going into the second period. Skoparantzas sparked the spurt with 5 points, including a 3-pointer with 12 seconds on the clock to forge the tie.
Westhill's press was seeing the fruits of its labor during this stretch and a jumper by Skoparantzas put the Vikings ahead for good, 11-9, on a jumper with 7:51 on the clock in the second.
A 3-pointer by Houska cut Westhill's lead to 17-16 (3:40).
"When they went to their full-court press it gave us a little trouble at first but then we were able to get over that and slow it down, play our game again," Houska said. "They (Westhill) beat us to loose balls, they hustled more and outrebounded us. We were getting open looks and some were falling and some weren't. Give them credit because they played a helluva game. It's a tough loss."
A 6-0 run by Westhill put the home team ahead 23-16 at the half. A reverse layup by Skoparantzas off a feed from Livingston resulted in the Vikings' final points of the half (46 seconds).
The Vikings capitalized on the cold shooting of the Warriors in the third quarter and grabbed a 28-16 lead with 4:52 left in the period. Wilton stayed within 8-10 points during the quarter but a 3-pointer by Luke Herritt off a pass from Skoparantzas with five seconds left gave Westhill a 35-24 edge going into the final frame.
As the Warriors have shown recently, they weren't about to give in that easily.
A 10-4 run closed the gap to five, 39-34, and was capped by a 3-pointer by Shifrin with 4:19 on the clock. Houska had 5 points during the run, including a 3-pointer.
"We don't quit and the kids always play hard," Geriak said.
Westhill answered with an 8-0 run to resume control at 47-34 (1:20). A steal and dunk by Livingston put an exclamation point on the run.
A 3-pointer by Richie Williams cut the lead to 47-40 (46.8) but that would be as close as the Warriors would get as the Vikings went 4-of-6 from the free-throw line down the stretch to put the game away.
Wilton didn't get the benefit of going to the free-throw line, making its only two attempts, but if they had sank a few more 3's, the Warriors may have been able to escape with an upset victory.
"We thrive on 3-pointers and our 3-pointers are like a dunk for us," Geriak said. "When we get that shot off we have to make some of them. We're not going to make all of them, I understand that, but we have to make a couple."
