Tooth Decay on the Vegan Diet

There's a guy with a book called Cure Tooth Decay and he applies the principles of Weston A. Price to cure tooth decay and remineralize teeth. Apparently it works. It is not vegan. The book covers a vegetarian way of doing it, but not vegan. From what he writes about the vegan diet, you can see that he does have bias against it and who could blame him? He has heard his share of stories of tooth decay. And hey, if I didn't meet the family at the vegan potluck on Thanksgiving, I might write him off but he's telling the truth. Now not all vegans have major tooth decay. This is also true with followers of modern diets devoid of fat and/or filled with crap food and too much sugar. But he has a theory that may be that once the body's stores of fat soluble vitamins get used up, and that varies from individual to individual, then perhaps that's when the health issues, such as tooth decay crop up.

He's got some vegan sources of fat soluble vitamins:
Vegan sources of fat-soluble vitamins. Avocado, natto (Japanese fermented soy beans), cold pressed olive oil, coconut oil, some oils in nuts.

On this page he has free tips on reversing tooth decay on the vegan diet, but as you read it's not really the vegan diet because Quorn comes up. The person who did manage to reverse included some ghee and eggs in her diet and became a vegetarian. If you are vegan for animals, just don't get all up in arms about his philosophy, just read the nutritional tips and mull them around. No one has the perfect diet, but damn we don't need to be closed minded nut jobs about other people's ideas even if they are not pleasant or even appalling to us. Just be nice and learn, learn, learn.

If you want to maintain a vegan diet or at least not start eating meat again, read his tips on the teeth.

  2. Here's a diet that is not devoid of the fat soluble vitamins and it's mostly vegetarian, from what I can gather. It's also raw and looks like a huge production:

    Seriously, things have to be practical.
