fruit and teeth?
Posted by: flipperjan ()

I'd like some clarification on what people mean when they talk about problems with a high fruit diet and their teeth.

Is it citrus fruit that cause the problem or is it the sugars that are in all fruits?

I am really enjoying a huge amount of fruit every day until my big salad in the evening. The fruit is in the form of juices e.g celery, apple and carrot, smoothies e.g. bananas, raspberries, a medjool date, handful of spinach and pieces of fresh fruit.

From what I have heard it is the acid fruits that are problematic because they dissolve away the enamel on the teeth. Fortunately there is a simple and effective practice that solves the problem. After eating acid fruits swish with some water to wash the teeth.

Good teeth health should be the same across the board- brush/floss after eating.

I think the problem is not TOO MUCH FRUIT, per se, but rather NOT ENOUGH MINERALS. I don't think one can attempt a fruitarian diet until one is properly mineralized.
