Low Carb for Healthy Teeth: Not Fluoride

[00:03:50]   Dr Philippe explains why he did this study – remarkable!

[00:07:00]   The discussion turns to why organizations like the WHO and USDA (among others), do not talk about nutrition, especially sugar, affecting dental health.

[00:11:05]    Carl shares some interesting facts about Dr Paul Dudley White and what he feels should be done with said organizations.

[00:13:22]   How is sucrose different from fructose from fruit or any other sugar? Does that not also drive dental cavities? Dr Philippe responds.

[00:18:15]   Dr Philippe describes what is special about sucrose that it drives some changes in the oral microbiome and explains the role of pH plays.

[00:20:40]   The conversation segues to evidence that proves that cavities can refill themselves with minerals if the oral health is addressed.

[00:22:00]   Dr Philippe responds to a question of a listener’s on glucose vs fructose.

[00:31:38]   There is an appropriate use for fluoride, assuming that people will not eliminate sugar from the diet, follow the conversation. Dr Philippe also shares a fascinating fact – oral hygiene does NOT have an impact on dental cavities, if it has, it is minor!

[00:34:00]   A listener shares his oral hygiene regime and asks Dr Philippe’s opinion on it. Carl weighs in on the topic too, as well as plaque on teeth being a possible indication of plaque in the arteries. The discussion turns to fluoride.

[00:38:57]   Are there people that have superior oral health while eating anything they wish? Dr Philippe replies with evidence from some studies regarding mineralization diets.

[00:41:30]   Carl explains how force can promote teeth and bone mineralization. Dr Philippe joins in.

[00:48:05]   Dr Philippe conveys what he hopes people will take away not this from this study, but also from his journey that led him to the study.

[00:51:40]   Dr Philippe mentions that an exceptionally low carb/carnivorous type diet might lead to a Vitamin C deficiency, supplementing is thus vital. He goes on to say that beef does not contain vitamin C, Carl respectfully disagrees and explains why.
