Tooth problems -- Clarifying together

[Guest guest]

Hi Nora,

Thanks so much for making time to elaborate upon and clarify your meaning.

Based upon what you write here, I would say we are in substantial agreement,

which I honestly believed was not the case. Glad!

 

I am only recommending the tender greens, and you are speaking of the dense

greens and greens-as-concentrates, which are of course entirely different.

And of course, I agree that if fruit didn't cause the oral health problems,

then giving up fruit is unlikely to uncause them.

 

I have found circumstances where someone experienced temporary relief by

cutting back for a few days on citrus and other more acidic (in the mouth)

foods. This has occurred in people irritated their mouth by eating lots of

nuts, seeds, chocolate, and whatnot to the point where breaks in the oral

lining were exposed. Of course, in the short run, direct exposure to any

acid would irritate such cuts in the mouth " skin " .

 

Best,

Elchanan

" Also, I disagree with Nora in one respect, namely, every aspect of our

health is indeed favorably influenced by incorporating greens on a regular

basis into one's dietary. Jeff has already shared a nice post describing

his own experience in this regard, and I can tell you that others, myself

included, have experienced the same. And ... I recognize that this is an

area of long-term disagreement with Nora, we just hold different perceptions

in the matter. "

 

Hi Elchanan, I think you may have misunderstood my post. Your comments

imply that I said (or meant/implied) that health is UNfavorably influenced

by greens-eating, which I did not. It is not my view that greens should

*not* be incorporated into one's diet. What I said in my post was an

entirely different statement -- that a person can avoid dental problems

without giving up fruit OR forcing him/herself to eat foods s/he would not

otherwise choose to eat (like dense greens or green powders). If you

disagree with this, I'd be happy to discuss it further.

 

Thanks much, Nora

You're welcome. I did elaborate a bit on a different (related) topic, but I

didn't really clarify the meaning of my statement, I just restated what I'd

said before. So I'm wondering why you thought we disagreed. What's the

'long-standing disagreement' you referred to in your other post?

Thanks again,

Nora
