Wow! Hadn't thought of how this will affect the teeth. Thanks for the heads up.
I found a list of tips which may help avoid this issue:
- Use fresh lemon juice, not concentrated or sweetened varieties
- Drink lemon water quickly, rather than sipping it slowly
- Use a straw to minimize contact with your teeth
- Rinse your mouth with water after consumption
- Wait 30 minutes before brushing your teeth
Personally i drink the lemonade very fast and then drink a light herbal tea afterwards. Always fresh herbs from the garden. I don't brush my teeth 8 times a day though as i think this will also have a negative effect on them.
On the subject of teeth i did have a painful tooth before i started the cleanse but now that i am on day 8, the pain is completely gone. Hoping it stays this way!
All the best to you π
Glad to pass on the info.
When I was doing the lemon/mint/honey tea, I was also a regular coffee and soda drinker, so that could have also been bad for my teeth too.
When you read that honey causes a calcium deficiency, it made me wonder if sticky honey pulls calcium out of the the coated teeth, weakening the enamel. Teeth are full of minerals, right? Perhaps dissolved honey behaves as a super absorber of minerals, salts, and metal toxins through osmosis or a chemical or physical action?
Any dentist worth their salt hopefully knows more about the science of how different chemicals and sugars react to the components that make up our teeth.
