The True Reason Teeth Decay
Dear Dr. Meinig:
Recently a friend gave me his copy of a health newsletter, "Second Opinion," by William Campbell Douglas, M.D. In talking about the cause of tooth decay the doctor said that, although sugar was a major factor in the cause of dental caries, it was not the sugar that touches teeth that is the reason. "Rather it is sugar from the blood stream as it rots the teeth from the inside." This sounds kind of crazy but I thought I'd run it by you for your comments. C.W.
