Cure Tooth Decay: Remineralize Cavities Banner

Red Wine Does Not Prevent Tooth Decay

In November 2009, a study published in the Journal of Food Chemistry falsely claimed that red wine will prevent tooth decay.

Red wine prevents tooth decay as much as white sugar prevents tooth decay. Scientists (of course from Italy) conclude that red wine prevents tooth decay by looking at how red wine affects Streptococcus mutans in a petri dish.

When red wine was added to an experiment where bacteria were sticking to fake teeth, the bacteria Streptococcus mutans stopped sticking. Therefore the scientist wrongly concluded that red wine stops cavities.

Bacteria in the mouth do not cause cavities. The scientist makes the assumption that Streptococcus mutans causes cavities. Therefore anything that will kill it, from Coke, to raisins, to bleach, can be said then to cure cavities, as if food has no other effect on the body at all. Rinsing the mouth with alcohol does not stop tooth decay either. A lack of nutrition is the cause of physical degeneration.

Personally I find that most red wines adversely affect my health. I know that sulfates and other additives in wine could be one reason why. It is possible, in an ideal case, that a wine would give nutrients and probiotics to the body and therefore prevent cavities.

I have not found wine of this quality produced commercially. It would require that most or all of the grape sugar be fermented and turned into alcohol or vitamins. I have come across one homemade bottle. I suggest that if you want good wine, learn how to make it at home, or expect to pay lots of money and do significant research to find vineyards who do not cut corners or use additives.

"The practical advice in this book really seems to be reversing my tooth decay!!! Hallelujah brother!!! The dentist wanted me to have two major root canals immediately and two other teeth filled. When I asked him if there was anything I could do with nutrition or supplements to get mu teeth to heal, he said "maybe you could slow the decay down a little bit" but that essentially the answer was no.

That dental visit was three mobnths ago and my teeth have stopped aching all together, are way less temperature sensitive, and feel generally stronger.

Most of us have been totally disempowered regarding the health of our teeth. This information has changed that for me. I bought the book for $28 anyway though. What a bargain, The dental work was going to cost well over $4000.00 no wonder dentists don't seem open to this stuff working! Talk about a biased perspective!!!

Think I'm excited, you will be too if you use this info to take tooth health into your own hands!"

"Not only is Cure Tooth Decay a practical guide to teach parents how to raise healthy children (with healthy teeth), it is also a helpfull tool for adults who have suffered with poor dental health and/or chronic disease. I would also highly recommend this book to people who are looking for things they can do to protect their bones, and their overall health, as they age. In other words, this book is a must read for everyone interested in improving their health." Pam Killeen New York Times nestselling Author

"Ramiel, You (along with Weston Price) saved my teeth. Was supposed to get a root canal (which I had no money to pay for). Tooth was in pain. After three weeks on the diet I can feel a big difference, tooth doesn't hurt now and feels like it's healing. Thanks so much. Unbelievable!" - Leroy, Utah

My cavity has gotten smaller! Once you are set free from being a slave to modern foods of commerce author continues to explain how the ancient people ate. They were healthy, strong and good looking. They had no cavities. They had no illness until familiar western culture came to visit them. If you are reading this review I am sure you understnad something is not right in the world. That we are born to live under a certain hypnosis. That we are taught to give away our responsibility to "people with authority", and those people cannot even take care of themselves. I recommend this book if you want the way out."Ranko, Croatia
