Re: Traditional foods=whiter teeth?

[Guest guest]

I'm very lucky to have been raise by my wise grandmother, who fed me a

traditional food diet, rich in nutrients and many things that as a kid I never

liked. Just a few months ago I went to the dentist for the first time in my

life, mostly because as I enter my teens, I was consuming lots of junk and the

typical american diet, all of that made my teeth yellowish and a tooth was

starting to move a little. Now in my early 20's I realist what food really does.

Amazingly, my teeth are still in great shape, no caveties, white, and straight.

I notice when I went back to real food, the yellowish disapeared and my tooth is

going back to place. however I just wanted to make sure I hadn't done

any serious damage. Turns out grandma was always right, I love her so much and

her food that now I'm learning to make myself, that's if I don't set my

kitchen on fire one of this days:)

 

Just another reason to eat real, wholesome food.

Subject: Traditional foods=whiter teeth?

 

I just went in for a teeth cleaning. Had been a little over a year since my

last cleaning which was just a a couple of months after switching to a strict

low carb tradition/primal way of eating. My teeth got a full two shades whiter

between the cleanings. I have not used whitener of any kind. (and rumor has it

I drink coffee The dentist was a bit perplexed. My teethes' hot/cold

sensitivity is gone too.

Could it be as a result of re-mineralization of my teeth? Same concept as the

healing of a cavity? Obviously, I consume many, many times the nutrients that I

used to and my diet is rich in the fat soluble activators like K2 from fermented

dairy like kefir and raw gouda and I eat an insane amount of raw grassfed butter

and fclo.

Anyone hear of this or experience this?

I noticed a huge improvement in my teeth after starting FCLO. I had done a few

things all at the same time, (started on D3 and magnesium around same time, too)

a few weeks before a cleaning a few years ago. When my dentist came in to do

the exam after the cleaning, she was clearly surprised - at first I thought

something was wrong, but it was that things looked so good. I had not had bad

teeth, just not remarkable. Of course, they did not really want to hear the

details I started to share, just told me to 'keep doing what I was doing'. I had

noticed a definite difference in the feel of the surface of my teeth, they had

felt a little chalky or something, and by the time I went for the cleaning, they

were very very smooth. They are also whiter. I don't take FCLO every day now,

but if I start to notice any dryness on the surface of my teeth, I start it up,

and things clear right up. I am sure that the biggest difference was made by

the FLCO.

My children and I take GP FCLO caps... and I haven't noticed a difference,

although I am hardly religious about taking them (simply when I remember which

is 2 to 3x/wk). I'd love to hear more about this, as I've been pregnant quite a

bit in the last few years and have some areas which need remineralization. I

and my middle son also took iron orally, which discolored our teeth.

Do you have to take the oil straight (no caps) for it to work? Is it something

special about FCLO only, or can it work with regular CLO and other fish oil? Is

it actually a remineralization or maybe more of an oil-pulling effect?

Fascinated to hear more from those who have tried it.

Whiter teeth, stronger teeth, no more heat or cold sensitivity since adopting a

traditional diet.

I think this explains it nicely (from wapf.org):

" Dentin is unique among the tissues of the teeth for its expression of

osteocalcin, a vitamin K-dependent protein better known for its role in

organizing the deposition of calcium and phosphorus salts in bone. In the infant

rat, whose teeth grow very rapidly, dentin manufactures much more osteocalcin

than bone does, suggesting that osteocalcin plays an important role in the

growth of new dentin. Matrix Gla protein (MGP), which is required for the

mineralization of bone, is also expressed in dentin.55 Vitamins A and D signal

odontoblasts to produce osteocalcin,56,57 and probably regulate their expression

of MGP as well. Only after vitamin K2 activates these proteins & #39; ability to

bind calcium, however, can they lay down the mineral-rich matrix of dentin. The

remarkable synergy between these three vitamins exactly mirrors the process

Price observed. "

The Standard American Diet is woefully deficient in A, D, and K2. I was

malnourished. Now my diet is very, very rich in the big three from such foods

kefir, pastured eggs, raw cheeses (especially Gouda which is especially rich in

k2), real bone broth, fclo, spring butter and of course liver. And ladies, the

same process that builds teeth also builds bones. Want to avoid osteoporosis?

Eat a high fat traditional diet. You have enough calcium in your diet. A

traditional diet gives you the magical 3 that lets your body make use of it.

I also suspect two other factors in my improved teeth health. First, I stopped

eating the anti-nutrients in grains. One strategy is to traditionally prepare

grains to reduce those anti-nutrients another is simply avoid grains all

together. Second, I now work hard to maximize sun exposure and never use

sunscreen. Dietary D3 is good, sulfated D produced by your skiing when exposed

to the sun is even better.

Just my two cents
