Drinking OJ= coated mouth
Is anyone else bothered by the coating you get all over your tongue and teeth from sipping oj all day? I feel like it makes my breath smell, and one of my favorite things about a raw diet is that you generally have a clean mouth feeling after eating, and no stinky breath.
I've tried sipping through a straw but I really need a bottle so I can shake up the oil and juice....
Maybe if I get one of those sports bottles I can squirt the juice to the back of my throat?

It's sticky and sour tasting, covers my tongue and teeth. By afternoon time I can scrape the coating off my teeth. I think it's from the concentrated sugar in oj, and how the bacteria in your mouth feed off it--you know the taste that is left in your mouth after you eat a bunch of candy or a sweet pastry? It makes your breath smell.
I don't have this problem when consuming whole fruit. The juice needs to be sipped more frequently though, so maybe that's why?

I think the teeth need some time to adjust (get stronger) to the higher acidity, due to the higher intake of sugars. In the end, no cleaning at all should be necessary, in my opinion. In nature there are no toothbrushes, after all.
The problem is, that no dental research (except epidemiological) has been done on people on natural diets (as far as I know). Research has shown though, that tartar does protect teeth from getting cavities. So maybe plaque, which is held responsible for housing the bacteria on the teeth, can in itself also be protective. So a coating in itself might not be harmful.
At the moment I tend to brush less and less, basically only the places which it's hard to get to. I don't use toothpaste and brush very lightly.

I think the coating is a protective layer indeed.razza wrote:Is anyone else bothered by the coating you get all over your tongue and teeth from sipping oj all day?

But dont worry, it doesnt make your breath bad at all. In fact, my breath is better than it ever was (on any other diet).
So why dont you use a straw drinking from a bottle?I've tried sipping through a straw but I really need a bottle so I can shake up the oil and juice....
Good morning avo,

This build, up if left on your teeth long enough, will harden and become tartar. Search the web, there are a lot of natural approached to this. Make sure you brush everywhere

Hey, you might want to sterilize those bottles in between uses.What's up with this stuff? I notice some often-used plastic bottles on mine get this coating on the inside as well...
