Ripe juice and probably mouth rinsing is all that’s needed I’d suspectHow did that much citrus for so long not destroy her teeth?
The minerals are likely protective. As a Peat disciple, I regularly drink OJ and occasionally a lot, but never felt it caused dental issues. For comparison, I did as-much-as-I-want with Ice cream for a while and did feel tooth/gum discomfort, so I do not seek out ice cream anymore (I did choose the brands with milk/sugar/cream/vanilla only).How did that much citrus for so long not destroy her teeth?
Well that is interesting that the ice cream caused you tooth and gum issues. I have been trying to figure out how to get orange juice into my daily diet, because on it’s own, at night at least, it causes me to have sensitive teeth, so maybe it is the sugar earlier in the day causing it. Yesterday I made an “Orange Julius” with whole raw milk, the zest and juice from one organic orange, a big spoonful or raw whipped honey, which tastes more like sugar than honey, a pinch of salt (very important), a little vanilla extract and ice. I had it twice yesterday and my teeth are not sensitive today. I did not have any sugar yesterday though either. I don’t normal have sensitive teeth with sugar, so I am not sure what to think.The minerals are likely protective.

I had the juice of one orange at night, before bed, and brushed my teeth afterwards with a charcoal based homemade toothpaste, and my teeth were sensitive all the next day.The minerals are likely protective.

Any citrus are very challenging on the teeth... even if you drink it through the straw like I do , it still damages gums and teeth.I had the juice of one orange at night, before bed, and brushed my teeth afterwards with a charcoal based homemade toothpaste, and my teeth were sensitive all the next day.
I’m convinced it’s the acid. I started having lots of oranges and satsumas in the last month and one of my teeth chipped for the first time.I had the juice of one orange at night, before bed, and brushed my teeth afterwards with a charcoal based homemade toothpaste, and my teeth were sensitive all the next day.
Oh geez that had to be disheartening! I am gonna stick to honey instead of sugar now and keep the Orange Julius idea going and see if I can get away with a couple of oranges a day. I think vitamin C, and vitamin K is the only thing lacking in my diet. I am getting some, but I know more would be much better.I’m convinced it’s the acid.

I wonder how -Ray Peat is managing to get away with so much orange juice. I wonder if the ripeness of the oranges is the big difference.Any citrus are very challenging on the teeth... even if you drink it through the straw like I do , it still damages gums and teeth.
Every time I start drinking orange juice (inspired by Peat) I get a new cavity or gingivitis. Doesn't matter how much calcium I take.
Sometimes I mix orange juice with baking soda or milk to make it less acidic, still I get inflamed gums .
I know a guy with dental prosthesis , he likes drinking orange juice .
We know that some of Ray's teeth are missing. I think frontal teeth are less exposed to bacteria and acids so they last longer.I wonder how -Ray Peat is managing to get away with so much orange juice. I wonder if the ripeness of the oranges is the big difference.
I do think the minerals in fruits are good for teeth, so buffering them with the milk and honey is gonna be my strategy for oranges. Do you think watermelon would have any negative effects on teeth?We know that some of Ray's teeth are missing. I think frontal teeth are less exposed to bacteria and acids so they last longer.
He said that it was due to wheat germ ... but I'm sure that high fruit consumption contributed to it.
There is a famous saying :
An apple a day keeps the doctor away, two apples a day will make you pay :))
I usually avoid watermelons for the same reason and prefer less acidic fruits like honeydew.I do think the minerals in fruits are good for teeth, so buffering them with the milk and honey is gonna be my strategy for oranges. Do you think watermelon would have any negative effects on teeth?
Honeydew and galia melons are the only fruits that don’t give me teeth and tongue issues.I usually avoid watermelons for the same reason and prefer less acidic fruits like honeydew.
And they are low carotene unlike other fruit.Honeydew and galia melons are the only fruits that don’t give me teeth and tongue issues.
Do we really need those minerals ?I do think the minerals in fruits are good for teeth, so buffering them with the milk and honey is gonna be my strategy for oranges.
