Breakfast improving toothpaste
Gingivitis is linked to half of strokes as well as heart disease, so make a toothpaste that makes breakfast actually taste better Cheese oil with wonderberry concentrate or antibiotic sweetness peptides are applicable technologies | |
a really iffy Costco magazine reference says gingivitis is linked, possibly causally, to much of heart disease. Thus making a toothpaste that causes food to taste better at breakfast would encourage brushing, actually save lives while improving flavor. My perception is that mint makes many foods taste
bland or repellent.
I think I read that cheese reduces cavities, so it is possible that cheese oil or possibly some cheese protein would further reduce gingivitis. Also the famed wonderberry that makes everything else taste better about 1/2 an hour later could become the famed liposomal wonderberry concentrate that makes everytrhing taste better 5 or 10 minutes later.
Also, there are large number of antibiotic peptides, that is naturally producible amino acid sequences. these could be size modified to stay on the mouth side of the mucosa as well as be instantly digestable. Possible sweet variants of these like thamatin linked to a peptide antibiotic would be delicious mouth only antibiotics
Thus the cheese oil liposomal wonderberry toothpaste improves breakfast while saving lives!

people talking about a study that says there is no effect

with contrasting studies there is the suggestion that reducing gingivitis at part of a group of people then seeing if that has any beneficial effect [beanangel, May 03 2013]

|

I actually agree that mint is a horrid flavor that ruins
everything it's put in, but the actual reason toothpaste
makes food taste bad is not the mint, but rather the
sodium lauryl sulfate that is used as a detergent and to
create a lather. One of the side effects of this
chemical is to temporarily reduce the ability to taste
sweetness. |

Let's take this point by point. |
|
| |
First:
//Gingivitis is linked to half of strokes as well as
heart disease,// |
|
| |
Meaning what? Is it:
(a) Gingivitis causes half of all strokes?
(b) Half of all stroke victims have gingivitis?
(c) Half of all people currently experiencing
gingivitis will have strokes in the same period?
(d) Half of all people who have ever had gingivitis
will have strokes at some point?
(e) Strokes cause half of all gingivitis?
(f) Costco wants to sell dental products to
frightened old people?
(g) Half of all strokes occur in countries where
gingivitis is prevalent?
(h) Half of all gingivitis occurs in countries where
strokes are prevalent?
(i) Half of the population is susceptible to both
strokes and gingivitis?
(j) a+b?
(k) a+c?
(l) a+d?
(m) ... |
|
| |
Second:
//I think I read that...//
Meaning what? Is it:
(a) You think that you read...?
(b) You definitely read something that you think
said...?
(c) a+b ?
|
|
| |
Moving on:
//cheese reduces cavities//
Is it that:
(a) Eating cheese reduces the dental damage that
is caused by starchy foods?
(b) Eating cheese instead of starchy foods reduces
dental damage?
(c) Eating cheese enhances teeths' self-repair
capabilities?
(d) a+b?
(e) a+c?
(f) b+c?
(g) a+b+c?
(h) a+d?
(i)... |

In short, there really is a great deal of work to do
here. You may also be interested to know that I
think I read that "wonderberry" contains a
glycoside which has been linked to breast cancer,
which is sure to dampen even the happylongest
breakfasty spirit. |
|
| |
" I think I read that cheese reduces cavities " |
|
| |
[ytk] that is awesome It strongly suggests that reformulating toothpaste with some light liquid lecithin component could emulsify plaque just as well, while being ever so slightly beneficial. Things like phosphatidyl choline or phosphatidyl serine are nootropics. |
|
| |
[mb] if it weren't for the link to a metaanalysis Id be doing something virtuous like learning mathematica. Less than gracefully leaving it to others, I have just let some math experts tally up some physiology experts, then believed they might be right. |

There is another research opportunity, apparently gum disease is linked to specific gene variants which cause six times greater risk of gum disease. finding those genes link to CHD would provide a list of genes to make sure you had the longevity version of |
|
| |
// gum disease is linked to specific gene variants
which cause six times greater risk of gum disease// |
|
| |
So, gum disease is linked to genes that cause six
times greater risk of gum disease? |
|
| |
I strongly suspect that the epidemiology here is in
what lawyers refer to as "status bollockus".
However, when it comes to the genetic association,
I am sure of it. |
|
| |
hmm. I think you are being comic. genes that cause saliva to have more sugar are easy to imagine, as are genes that produce different amount of tissue vascularization. a person with both would have lots of oral plaque, risk of diabetes, as well as slightly different blood circulation at the gums. If I said "diabetes genetics are linked to CHD" the yawning would be loud, yet these same genes could easily cause high sugar saliva. The novel thing here though is that some new nondiabetic possibly unidentified genes might be linked to CHD |

this being the .5b though I think we should technologize the solution. xylitol candy with cheese oil before sleeping might reduce gingivitis. |
|
| |
Yes, except that xylitol causes diahrhrohhea, which
leads to (a) dehydration, which has been linked to
both cataracts and stroke and (b) reduced levels of
B-vitamins, which has been linked to a very great
many things. |
|
| |
Remember, [beany]: filter, filter, filter. If not on
the way in, then at least on the way out. |
|

actually I was thinking they could make a treat that really tasted pleasant like candy, that purposefully clings to the sides of ones mouth, that had trace amounts of xylitol, to produce the beneficial effect, as well as sweetness peptides, some of which are 100,000 times sweeter than sugar, to keep it tasting delicious along with this mysterious cheese lipid. that way it would taste awesome while preventing cavities as well as gingivitis yet have long lasting flavor. The candy shaped candy seemed risky to fall asleep with. I certainly think a multihour medically beneficial delicious mouthgoop is possible though |
|
| |
improving this further is fresh breath with cyclodextrins cyclodextrins are circular dextrin polymers of the right shape that other molecules glom at their centers They cause febreze to actually glom then sequester scents being made of dextrin polymer they are likely edible, so they linger there freshening breath all night n morning even though the mouth has flavor goop |
|
| |
//multihour medically beneficial delicious
mouthgoop// |
|
| |
With a name like that, it'll practically market itself. |
|
| |
Brush teeth via applying a layer of //mouthgoop// onto a toothbrush from a tube of Primula cheese spread. |

Fennel or licorice. The toothpaste i make, which is
for children in theory (my home town), is flavoured
with liquorice to make it sweet, cause hypertension
and so on. |
