Guest guest Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 The only input I have here is that my daughter rny 5/6/02 has never had a cavity. She was on carbonate in the beginning and noticed her teeth changing color and quickly switched to Citrate and the color returned. Not scientific. Just an observation.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 I don't kNOW anything, mind you. I'm just fishing for info here. It keeps occurring to me that some teeth-breaking people are not slackers, and in fact, may be very enthusiastic vitamins takers. Or Tums eaters. Just trying to gather data. Everyone's put on chewables, but I never could stand to chew or do sublingual or lozenge forms. Give me food or don't bother me, you know? So, I didn't do them. Have had some aging with my teeth, but no breakage. Sooooooo, just wondering. Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.
