Hey,
I am peating since about 3 months, coming from a more Weston Price oriented diet.
I felt good and healthy before but now I feel like I`m in my early 20`s again,
beeing 44 years old. No kidding.
So thanks a lot to Ray Peat and the contributors of this forum.
Besides feeling healthy I want to keep my teath healthy.
So I read Ramiel Nagel`s book "Cure Tooth Decay".
According to Ramiel tooth decay is based on:
1. Lack of Vitamins A, D, E, K
2. Blood sugar fluctuations which draw calcium from bones and teeths
- Calcium from animal sources 1.5g;
only calcium from unpasteurized dairy can be metabolized in bones and teeth
- Phosphor from animal sources 2g
- Vitamin A 4.000 - 20.000 IU
- Vitamin D 1.000 - 4.000 IU
- Calories from fat 30% -70%
- 6-18 ounces high-quality protein: BW / 15 = protein requirement in oz.
- With every meal: 1 teaspoon of healtyh fat: Butter, ghee, coconut oil
- Foods to increase mineral intake like broth, dairy products, vegetables
- Plenty cooked vegetables: beet greens, kale, chard, zucchini, broccoli, celery
- some fermented with every meal
2. blood sugar fluctuations
Ramiel argues that caviatis is caused by blood sugar fluctuations
which leads to a prolonged blood calcium-phosphor miss-relation
which draws calcium from bones and teeth.
White sugar is supposed to lead to 5 hours of blood sugar fluctuations,
fruit sugar, even though low-glycemic, is supposed to lead to 5 hours of blood sugar fluctuations, honey is supposed to lead to 3 hours of blood sugar fluctuations.
In addition to that white sugar is said to deplete the body of chromium, zinc, magnesium and manganese.
( White sugar is supposed to bring posterior pituitary gland out of balance, so that it can`t regulate blood sugar -> phosphor pulled from bones -> tooth decay
Natural sweeteners lead to an overactive anterior pituitary gland -> lack of growth hormone -> gum disease; Thyroid is regulated by anterior pituitary gland -> to repair thyroid, repair anterior pituitary gland …. )
So he suggests the following carb sources:

What do you think?

According to Ramiel tooth decay is based on:

2. Blood sugar fluctuations which draw calcium from bones and teeths
- Lack of fat-soluable Vitamins
- Calcium from animal sources 1.5g;
only calcium from unpasteurized dairy can be metabolized in bones and teeth

- Vitamin A 4.000 - 20.000 IU

So he suggests the following carb sources:
- Swet potatoes
- Yams
- If one wants to go with grains:
- properly prepared sourdough bread
- high-quality Jasmin or Basmati Rice
- properly prepared brown Rice:
- 50% of the bran removed
- soaked with a phytase-rich starter
- partially milled, soured
- one is better off without vegetables through their anit-nutritions
( I know that vegetables can be prepared properly,
but I think they are just not necessary ) - Calcium from pasteurized high-quality grass-fed dairy is quite fine
- have more dietary phosphor than dietary calcium
- don`t eat fermented foods
- have your carbs from sucrose, fructose
( especially orange juice / oranges, honey, carrots )- balances carbs with protein and a little healthy fat
- besides that, I like his recommandations but
- I suppose it is sufficient to have about 5 oz. of mussels per week
and about 5 oz. of liverwurst per week to fullfill Vitamin A requirements
and to get enough micronutrients like zinc.
To get enough Vitamin K,D I supplement with Carlsons Liquid D / K
Vitamin E is barely needed if one lacks of dietary PUFA`
- I suppose it is sufficient to have about 5 oz. of mussels per week
sources:
- grass-fed dairy; especially summer butter
- organs from land animals: liver, kidney, brain, glands
- organs and head meat from fish and shellfish
