Dental researchers coated damaged cows’ teeth with an enamel binding peptide and soaked them in a mineral solution to reform their protective outer layer.
That’s really interesting.
I’ve had a toothpaste ingredient called Novamin on my radar for a while now - it is not widely available in the U.S. and there’s some question as to it’s efficacy over regular toothpaste, but I’ve used it to more or less permanently address tooth sensitivity issues - so I’m a believer.
If this peptide could be used to boost the binding between calcium and phosphorus and your teeth, perhaps it could work in concert with regular toothpaste or novamin-containing toothpastes to help rebuild teeth that are weak or have small amounts of damage.
…the researchers obtained 30 cow teeth and randomly separated them into 3 groups. They demineralized each tooth’s enamel by placing it in a solution containing acetic acid at a pH of 4.5 for 7 to 9 days, mimicking how natural tooth enamel decays. After this process, the scientists coated 2 groups of teeth with the WGNYAYK peptide and left the other group without. They submerged them into a remineralization solution containing monopotassium phosphate and a buffer at a pH of 7. The researchers also added a green dye to the solution that glows brighter the harder the enamel surface becomes. The denser the minerals grew together, the harder the enamel became, and the brighter the teeth glowed.
The scientists analyzed the teeth soaked in the WGNYAYK peptide solution under a laser microscope. They found that the higher the concentration of peptide solution the teeth had been soaked in, the brighter fluorescent green they glowed. They explained this correlation meant that the peptide and mineral bath combination had partially restored their tooth enamel.
A long dental visit.
Brother, put that shit in my toothpaste ASAP. My teeth have had so much work done on god.
Now we’re going to need to have cow teeth too? Is there nothing the vegans will stop at?
Put it in the water with the fluoride. Cheap, effortless dental care.
Ingestion of this peptide likely needs to go through safety studies first though. Sounds like it would be good as a toothpaste + mouthwash combo though.
Lol that will never happen.
Ever been out west? The hippies voted to remove fluoride from the water out here.
The crunchy karens everywhere else would never stand for more ‘chemicals’
Too many people are already screaming “fluoride = autism” I think they would just go even more insane.
Really? Now it’s not just vaccines but fluoride too?
Amazing.
It’s more likely the microplastic and other garbage embedded in our innards from an environment saturated with bad for us items, but, you can say no to fluoride and vaccines which is why they are chosen. If you have no control over it at base, then it won’t be chosen as the culprit behind autism.
One piece of data that is compelling: old eggs. I don’t like it either, but there it is. The older our eggs sit in transition, from birth to old age, the worse they get. They do have a shelf life. Sure, you can play the odds and win, but the odds of a perfectly health pregnancy and child go down with age. It’s an unpalatable fact of life.
Old sperm is an even more robust bit of data, linked to autism. But that’s an unpalatable idea, and we can’t fix aging.
Vaccines are easier to pick on so they are.
Now it’s not just vaccines but fluoride too?
No, not “now.” Fluoridation conspiracy theories are older than vaccine ones. That debunked study about vaccines and autism was from 1998, but idiots have been bitching about fluoridation ever since they started doing it, back in the '40s.
In all fairness, fluoride is not entirely harmless and should be used with a bit of caution, but it won’t give you any autism, no.
Bruh. Get the fuck out of here with that fluoride toxicity nonsense. You’ll probably die of hydration before fluoride poisoning. This shit is safe and constantly monitored.
In conclusion, based on the totality of currently available scientific evidence, the present review does not support the presumption that fluoride should be assessed as a human developmental neurotoxicant at the current exposure levels in Europe.
In all fairness lmao
