RE: Top 3 Ways To Stop A Toothache - Coconut, Clove, and Silver
Yes, good points. My occasional sugar indulgences don't help, that's for sure. I didn't know that about the nightshades. I wonder what properties they have that would cause inflammation. Thanks for the comment.
They contain lectins and glycoalkaloids. Also there is the starch, in potatoes, which is easily converted to sugar by enzymes, such as amylase, in the mouth.
Many of the grains, nuts, legumes and seeds also contain lectins which are also potential culprits in increased inflammation.
I finally broke my sugar addiction, the most difficult addiction ever, by increasing my consumption of protein, in the form of whey protein. After 2 weeks, it was as though it had never existed as an addiction. Now, I can take it or leave it, and never crave it.
