Why Did I Have Cavities?
My diet was missing the fat-soluble vitamins found in fermented cod liver oil and high vitamin butter oil. I have since started taking this powerful duo, as well as the rest of my family for added nutrition.
I had been dairy-free for over a year and did not focus on my intake of calcium and phosphorus. Since discovering my tooth decay, I have since added back raw milk from grassfed cows and goats into my diet.
I, most likely, had been consuming high amounts of phytic acid in nuts and seeds. Since learning of my cavities, I have minimized my intake of nuts and seeds, and have become diligent about properly soaking them to help neutralize phytic acid. I follow a Paleo diet, so I knew that other high phytate foods like grains, corn, and rice was not the issue.
