The best means against caries - chocolate paste

June 11th, 2007

The cocoa powder which is contained in many sweets, pastry and other products, can protect teeth from caries. Experts assure what this very substance can replace fluoride which is contained in tooth-pastes.
As they said, the white transparent powder received from cocoa helps to strengthen teeth enamel and protects them from caries.
Scientists have conducted a number of experiments with samples of tooth-paste with cocoa additives, which have shown, that it protects a surface of teeth enamel not worse, than paste with fluorine ions.
For the time being efficiency of this innovative paste has been proved only in tests on animals. To prove that the product is suitable for people, scientists will need from two to four years of researches.
