Why Raw Foodists Have Bad Teeth by Frederic Patenaude
For years, I’ve been warning raw vegans, Paleo enthusiasts, juicing fans, fruit eaters, smoothie addicts and vegans to take care of their teeth.
What I have observed is:
* I high incidence of dental decay among raw foodists, 1-2 years after they switch to the diet
* A high incidence of gum recession and enamel erosion among raw foodists (this does not mean 100% raw. Anyone who eats a lot of fruit or drinks fresh juices or smoothies should care.)
Dramatic dental problems in people who stick religiously to certain diet principles without questioning them.
In my early days, I’ve had my share of dental problems myself as a direct result of following the raw diet incorrectly. I have also met at least several hundred people who have gone through similar issues.
I’ve been talking about this for a number of years now, and I’m glad that people are finally listening!
This is truly the “weak link” of the raw diet, and it applies to anyone eating a healthy diet!
There are a lot of positive aspects to eating more raw foods.
But… a person can experience many wonderful benefits while changing their diet, and watch with horror as their dental health goes downhill.
And it’s not just raw vegans… vegetarians also must watch out. In fact, anyone who eats healthier!
We know that raw foods contain more acidity. But healthy eaters also consume more cooked vegetables, and acidity can be increased in those vegetables when you roast them.
Peta Bee writes in the Daily Mail:
“Dentists at the University of Dundee found that different cooking methods could increase the acidity of vegetarian dishes, such as roasted vegetables. Exposure to high temperatures produced chemical changes that made the acid more concentrated, and more damaging to teeth. In particular, the acidity level of zucchini, peppers, onions and eggplants increased when roasted.”
So what’s going on here?
The Two Culprits
At this point, if you have the least interest in eating a healthier diet, you should start reading very, very closely.
Dental decay is not caused by eating the wrong diet.
Dental decay is the result of the proliferation of certain types of bacteria in the oral environment. The bacteria eliminate acid waste that eat into your teeth and cause decay.
It’s all about the terrain!
If your oral terrain (the environment) is healthy, you could eat Cheetos and drink Coke all day, and you wouldn’t even get cavities.
When people change their diet, they become a dental health time-bomb. Their bacteria count is a little too high, but not high enough to cause major problems.
Suddenly, they start eating more often, because they eat foods that are not as dense in calories. They drink juices. They drink smoothies. They eat a lot of fruit.
This acid and sugar create a giant feast for the bacteria which feed on them.
The real culprits are the bacteria. But the terrain is determined by:
– Acidity
– Sugar
It’s not all about the food you eat! If you can control the level of acidity in your mouth, you can eat foods that contain acids and sugar, and you’ll be fine.
But, if your oral terrain is not under control, you’ll never be able to eradicate dental problems for life.
You want your bacteria count to be as low as possible.
You want to avoid bacteria forming into colonies and creating their little civilization in your mouth!
If your oral environment is clean… and ALKALINE… it doesn’t matter if you eat dates or raisins all day.
The Only Solution
The only way to prevent dental decay for life and reverse a bad situation is to take active control of your oral environment. Just controlling your diet does not address the root of the problem.
You can create a simple, daily dental hygiene routine that will prevent 95% of problems.
And then, you can do simple things with your diet to control the remaining 5%, like avoiding snacking and being careful with the amount of acid foods you consume.
