RE: Around 3 years of being vegan now, and some thoughts on the subject.
I've heard that fruitarians have white teeth, so I would say it depends on what kind of sugar you consume. Refined carbs like white sugar and white flour, as well as food high in simple carbs increase the acidity in your mouth, which in my opinion degrades teeth health. So eat as whole plant based foods as possible. And focus on more alkalizing foods. Also did you try oil pulling? Swishing oil in your mouth for as long as you can and spitting it out? Cheers from a fellow vegan!
Really? Hum. I've heard of a lot of fruitarians with teeth issues. Most of the YouTube videos I found on the subject were from fruitarians. And I've talked to a few personally. And I agree, the simple refined sugars are much worse! Though I do think there's something to the fruit sugars as well, which is something that puzzles me cause it seems like our closest animal relative eats a lot of that kind of stuff! So I have to wonder.
And yes I've done oil pulling before. It has helped in the past, but not always.. I tried it again and this time it helped! So.. I'll keep alternating between the bentonite clay and the coconut oil I suppose! Thanks for the help iloveyoga! :)
