The Food - Its texture is smooth and creamy save a lot of nutrients. Used as an ingredient made ​​of gelatin are also processed and dried as a finished sheet of wrapping sushi. But, if you eat too much seaweed could actually damage the teeth.

Seaweed is one type of sea vegetables are low in calories, fat-free and high in fiber. It also contains calcium, iron, minerals and vitamin C. Sea vegetables also contain omega-3 fatty acids. Even so, it turns out if consumed in excess is bad for dental health.

A study conducted by the University of Newcastle, found that the microbes found in seaweed may damage the teeth. These findings will be announced at the time of Applied Microbiology Summer Conference.

This organism will cause dental plaque and ultimately erode tooth enamel, causing cavities. While toothpaste is currently not effective to reach areas between the teeth. "Effective treatment to prevent dental plaque is the enzyme." Said Dr. Nicholas Jakubovics of Newcastle University's School of Dental Sciences.

This laboratory study conducted using a complete denture, the result after a given enzyme-containing toothpaste, mouthwash and dental cleaning solution, suggesting that the enzymes in it can reduce plaque on teeth.

Seaweed is easy to find, as in ice mix, gelatin and sushi. However, consumption should be limited and it is better immediately after eating seaweed brushing your teeth with toothpaste that contains enzymes.
