Cheese may be a dental health hero
Dental disease remains a serious threat to children and adults,
according to the Surgeon General's Report on Oral Health. A new
research review examines how foods such as milk and cheese may
not only help reduce the effects of cavity causing acids formed by
plaque bacteria, but also help restore tooth enamel lost while eating.
In particular, authors note that cheese protects against tooth decay
by helping to neutralize acid, stimulate saliva, and reduce break-
down of tooth enamel.
IT’S HOT - Bessie the cow is enjoying the sun, she resides
