I want to know if eating more fruits than vegetables while striving for my five a day may cause tooth decay.

Fruits are way more sugary than most vegies, so yes this would cause faster rot. As would already havign nasty teeth that need extreme dental care. However I wished to point out that in my study of the simple Yeast bacteria, which can apparently infest one's body via the intestiens from a long lasting, bad diet that cna cause numerous problems from bipolarism to smells, skin rashes and acne problems. Can also cause problems for diabetics, and dishwashers due to moisture, heat and sugar levels without immune response. Check it out for all the details on systemic candidiasis, chronic yeast syndrome, and be warned that if the bacteria in your body becoems too one sided itcan cause more damage to your intestines by messing with the other kinds of bacteria used in digestion!

yes the acidity in your mouth plays a big role not just to bad breath, but as well as the progression of decaying teeth. when your mouth feels dry the ph level drops and your mouth gets more dry so you are more prone to getting cavities. You need to boost up your sallivary flow so you don't have breath, from foods. Chewing on sugars free lemon drops works well, biotene rinses, oasis spray works well to. Bad breath can also be caused by other numerous problems.

That's a wonderful encouraging bit of news. Have you ever heard of the other end of aromas? I noticed that if I eat too many peanut butter sandwiches, especially several days in a row, with lots of boiled eggs and several 2 liters of sodas, the gas is obnoxious and plentiful, making it more difficult to entertain at work or social functions. Both gas and acid stomache hurt everyone who suffers from it, but if you just stay away from rotten food and dirty refrigerators, moldy sinks and mildew you should be all right.

Hhmmm, I'm quite curious as to why there is no mention of drinking or swishing with green tea. It's been proven to get rid of bad breath, due to it's anti-baterial properties. It works for me all the time.
