    Marilyn Monroe once remarked that her most admirable feature was her perfect teeth. This trait is

    common among people who suffer from mood swings.

    (At least that is what some people say.) It is true that unusually hard and perfect teeth are a sign of very high levels of some minerals, I think and don't you think that could influence a sensitive organ like the brain?

    I have a few books on her and she definitely suffered from some type if mental illness. Some type if depressive disorder based on everything I have read about her maybe even some form of PTSD due to her childhood and early life. Bipolar is definitely likely due to the extreme high's and low's observed by others through out the years.

    I think we all do and just don't know it.
