I saw this quote from Ray Peat about preventing tooth decay from all the sugar:
"I use baking soda, and I rinse my mouth after having sugar, orange juice, etc. The quality of the saliva, regulated mainly by the thyroid hormone, is the main factor in dental health. My newsletter on osteoporosis mentioned some of the studies on thyroid, estrogen, and tooth decay."
Does he mean he rinses his mouth with water that has baking soda in it after each sugar intake? or just uses plain water without baking soda? and uses the baking soda for brushing daily?
I'm already using a toothpaste with baking soda in it daily. Is rinsing with plain water after each sugar intake enough or should I be adding baking soda to that water too?
