Dr. Price found that when individuals of the same ethnic background had lost their isolation from the modern world, they then adopted modern foods and food habits of commerce. As a result there was an early and rapid loss of immunity to tooth decay.
Our modern displacing diet is the cause of tooth decay. Preventing tooth decay has little to do with tooth brushing and fluoridating water. If these strategies worked, people would have fewer and fewer cavities because most people brush frequently and almost 70% of the United States now has fluoridated water.
Approximately 90% of people in the U.S. have had tooth decay at least once in their lives. This is a result of a “modernized” diet, consisting of many junk and processed foods. The modern diet lacks the vitamins that our bodies need, and as a result, our teeth decay.
Dr. Price’s research led him finally to the astounding conclusion that not only is a natural diet rich in bioavailable minerals essential to good dental health, but that if the right diet was employed, not only did tooth decay cease but it actually began to heal. Dr. Price’s book “Nutrition and Physical Degeneration” is currently receiving an incredible string of five-star reviews on Amazon.com. In short, people are raving about his work! Price is one of a group of researchers whose work indicates that degenerative disease is a product of the modern diet.
Steps you can take to Remineralize your teeth
Consume Vitamin A & D together. The most potent form is cod liver oil. You would have to eat 5 quarts of milk, 1 pound of butter or 9 eggs to consume the amount of Vitamin A found in one teaspoon of cod liver oil!
Eat more saturated fat! Cholesterol is a vital building block involved in hundreds of functions in the body. In fact, your body produces three to four times the amount of cholesterol that you eat. Cholesterol from healthy fats (coconut oil, tallow, lard, butter etc) is not dangerous and has no effect on your risk of heart disease.
Eat a diet low in phytic acid, which is an anti-nutrient found in grains, seeds, nuts and beans, and actually blocks the absorption of minerals by the body
Increase the amount of fresh, raw foods that you consume and reduce the amount of cooked, processed, prepackaged foods.A List of Some Foods to Avoid
Avoid – It is important not to cheat here:
Sugar – White Sugar, Brown Sugar, Organic Sugar, Evaporated Cane Juice, Corn Syrup, Commercial Jams
Flour & Grain Products – White Flour, Wheat Flour, Organic Flour, any unsoaked grain products. Examples: bread, crackers, cookies, doughnuts, breakfast cereals, muffins, pastries, tortillas, bagels, and sandwiches (Most store-bought flour products even from the health food store, or labeled organic need to be avoided.)
Hydrogenated Oils – like margarine and low quality vegetable oils such as vegetable oil, soybean oil, crisco, canola, and safflower
Any type of junk, convenience food, or modern fast food
Coffee, soft drinks, sweeteners, and anything with artificial flavors, artificial colors, or artificial ingredients
Soymilk, protein powder, and excess tofu
Pasteurized milk, even if it is organic
Non-grass-fed meat and eggs, and farm raised fish
Alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs (including most prescription drugs & vaccines)

Teeth don’t heal themselves. This picture is before and after fillings are placed. It is true that our modern diet full of sugar and processed food contributes to tooth decay. But it is also true that fluoride, tooth brushing, and flossing help to prevent tooth decay. This article takes one bit of truth and mixes in some bad science and downright lies to make claims that are not true.
Hi Nate. thanks for your comments. I encourage healthy debate. The photograph had a caveat above saying Note – image is for illustrative purposes only. We make no guarantees of results using this method; we are merely reporting on the findings and personal claims made by others. Basically, the article is mostly about how healthy eating contributes to healthy teeth. Even oil pulling is recognized as a method to keep gums healthy. I have not gone into the fluoridation argument – not yet anyway. But, I do keep an open mind.
