Did you know that honey is the only type of sugar that actually improves your tooth health instead of harming it? It's true!
Most types of sugar feed bad bacteria that cause tooth decay and bad breath. However, honey is VERY different!
Honey naturally contains antimicrobial compounds that kill harmful bacteria in the mouth and allow good oral bacteria to flourish. In fact, many hunter-gatherer tribes around the world that consume large amounts of honey have been found to have very good oral health and ZERO cavities despite their frequent honey consumption.
Not only that, but honey has dozens of health benefits in the body including helping your body produce nitric oxide, which improves blood flow (a big benefit that older men enjoy from honey for both heart health and erectile health!)...
Just make sure when choosing honey to choose local when possible and always raw. You want to avoid mass produced honey that came from China which is often fraudulently cut with high fructose corn syrup to make it cheaper.
Honey is one way to reduce bad bacteria in your mouth to improve oral health.
