Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Hi bg > Also, the whole lemon/olive oil drink daily will help detox this residue. I agree that it's great stuff, but if you drink it every day it can remove the enamel from your teeth. Everyone knows that sucking on lemons is bad for the teeth, but in this drink I think that maybe the oil causes the lemon juice to stick to the teeth even longer.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Sue, The acid's effect on the teeth is a good point to bring up. But, this drink is not as concentrated on the teeth as sucking on a lemon; and, wouldn't thorough brushing of the teeth take care of this? bg > Hi bg > > > Also, the whole lemon/olive oil drink daily will help detox this residue. > > I agree that it's great stuff, but if you drink it every day it can remove > the enamel from your teeth.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Hi bg, About four years ago Consumers Report cautioned not to brush your teeth immediately after eating an ordinary meal, because your teeth are softer then. (I think they mentioned a more acidic state in the mouth.) So I'm guessing that brushing after a lemon/olive drink would be even worse. CR recommended rinsing immediately, as I recall.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Sue, Thanks for that remedy -- rinsing with water. Many in our local support group are beginning to use this therapy and this will be good to mention. bg > Hi bg, > > About four years ago Consumers Report cautioned not to brush your teeth > immediately after eating an ordinary meal, because your teeth are softer > then.
