A new study published in the May/June 2013 issue of General Dentistry, the peer-reviewed clinical journal of the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), indicates that consuming cheese and other dairy products may help protect teeth against cavities. The dental plaque pH in the subjects’ mouths was tested before and after they consumed cheese, milk, or sugar-free yogurt. A pH level lower than 5.5 puts a person at risk for tooth erosion. The higher the pH level is above 5.5, the lower the chance of developing cavities. Subjects who ate cheese, showed a rapid increase in pH levels, suggesting that cheese has anti-cavity properties.

This study has great potential in dental health for kids. Do your children brush their teeth properly? Do they brush for three minutes? Do they get all of the plaque off their teeth? Or do you have to check to see if the toothbrush is wet after they say they have brushed their teeth? It would be great to be able to give your kids a cheese stick and know that it is helping to prevent cavities.

5 Health Benefits Of Cheese

The health benefits of cheese are sometimes overlooked because of its high natural fat content, which will cause weight gain if too much is consumed. However, a low-fat cheese can be very healthy for you to eat and perfect for keeping your weight balanced.

2) Cancer Prevention – Contains Conjugated Linoleic Acid and Sphingolipids that help prevent cancer.
