Yes, because the Chinese' teeth have been falling out for millennia from white rice.

Peat recommends to rinse your mouth after a coke.
Matt1951 said:Go ahead, keep eating grains, and keep getting your teeth drilled.
Who actually eats grains though?
Amaranth
Barley
Buckwheat
Farro / Emmer
Kamut
Millet
Muesli
Quinoa
Rye
Sorghum
Spelt
Teff
Triticale
Everyone I know who has rotting teeth does not eat those grains.

I'm not quite sure why you don't understand a lot of things too.
You believing that K2 can do that doesn't mean it really does.
Evolution has left behind many pointless things. Wisdom teeth are pointless and often the cause of many problems in the jaw as is the appendix and many other body parts. It's called Human vestigiality:

Never heard anything negative about oil pulling till you raised that - have you had trouble with it?Nicholas said:https://raypeatforum.com/forums/posts/97498/ anyone notice that oil pulling seems to damage/remove tooth enamel?
Matt1951 said:I used to require a lot of dental work. For the last 10 years, I have only required cleaning. Nine years ago, the dentist said I had small cavities that needed attention. The same dentist, today, says I have no cavities. Humans did not have (substantial amounts of) cavities until they started eating grains. I posit that eating wheat is the primary cause of cavities in America, not eating sugar. Go ahead, keep eating grains, and keep getting your teeth drilled.
Check out Mike Mew on the jaw and wisdom tooth issue.tara said:post 97760 I had been speculating that the trouble with wisdom teeth is that sometimes people's jaws don't grow to their full size, which may be an issue related to malnutrition, CO2 deficiency, and/or reduced metabolism from other causes. Eg. there are studies by dentists relating childhood mouth breathing to narrow mouth and cramped teeth. There are other threads here discussing jaw size and nutrition.
Over most of our evolutionary prehistory, I think teeth were important not just because you don't want them to spread a lethal infection, but also because without strong teeth it was hard to get enough calories and protein to survive. So if you've lost a few over your fist 20-40 years, that extra 4 at the back might be really useful.

When I was 14 I had 8 cavities in my mouth and didn't have any drilled, I'm 25 now and my teeth are better than ever. I use to have chronic pain, and sensitively, haven't had that in years. I DONT have xrays to prove they are gone, but my mouth has no pain and my teeth feel like granite.
I can't say for certain my teeth are remineralized because I have no proof, but like I said my teeth feel noticeably harder, no pain, no sensitively and no visible cavities. My diet consists of low-fat milk, orange juice, liver, sugar, carrot or bamboo shoots, coconut oil, and some supplements. I get close to 5000 mg of calcium a day with much lower phosphate, virtually no phytic acid, lots of red light.. I'm probably forgetting things but that's all I remember right now.Derek said:post 110763ThunderSpank said:post 110740 http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2 ... decay.html

How did you remineralize your teeth? Did you follow the Mellanby's diet you posted?
