“The low carbohydrate, high fat diet depressed caries activity to practically nill.”
In 1945 at the Vipeholm Institute in Sweden, 436 mentally handicapped people were given diets with varying amounts of carbohydrate.
During the 5-year study,
the researchers found that those eating the most carbs had the highest cavity rates.
This was a landmark study (with serious ethical considerations) in providing evidence for carbohydrates causing the most common disease in the world — cavities.
🤔 What's bad for teeth but good for health:
The US National Research

Also the US National Research Council:
But increase carbohydrate consumption for overall health.
If a "healthy diet" causes teeth to rot and bone to erode, it's not a healthy diet.
