#237 Oral Health, Blood Pressure, and Better Hygiene: Dr. Eilon on Toothpaste, Mouthwash, and Whitening
I
20:09Ilon ChoaiGUEST
Only f- fluoride is the only thing that is recognized by the government to be an anti-cavity agent, over-the-counter medication.
I
20:19Ilon ChoaiGUEST
Xylitol is not, and there's a reason for that.
I
20:22Ilon ChoaiGUEST
So fluoride goes into the tooth, and it makes it less re- it makes it more resistant to cavities' formation, because cavities are just a byproduct of bacterial activity.
I
20:39Ilon ChoaiGUEST
So you have a bacteria called Streptococcus mutans, S. mutans for short, and what that bacteria does, it lives in your mouth, most people have it, and it feeds on sugar.
I
21:14Ilon ChoaiGUEST
You're almost adding armor to the tooth against that bacteria that causes the cavities with acid.
I
21:20Ilon ChoaiGUEST
And so that's why the FDA recognizes fluoride as an anti-cavities medication, because it is strengthening the tooth by a factor of 10 against that acid caused by fluor- uh, bacteria.
I
21:35Ilon ChoaiGUEST
Xylitol does something very different.
I
21:37Ilon ChoaiGUEST
Xylitol selectively attacks that cavity-causing bacteria, because what it is, is, is a polyol, right? And so a polyol cannot be broken down the same way sugar can.

And the article that you sent me today from the European Cardiology Association presented in Germany showed that Xylitol, which is an artificial sweetener, is associated with more heart attacks and strokes.
P
6:28Peter MichalosGUEST
And it's found in our drinks, in our food, in chewing gum, and even in dental care products.
P
6:35Peter MichalosGUEST
