DESCRIPTION: Plant-based diets may help protect against oral cancer and periodontal (gum) disease, a leading cause of tooth loss. Cholesterol buildup, oxidation, and inflammation are the three harbingers of Arterial Acne (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/arterial-acne/), the leading cause of the death in the United States. Watch the video series starting with Blocking the First Step of Heart Disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/blocking-the-first-step-of-heart-disease/). So what is a safe intake for cholesterol and saturated fat? See Trans Fat, Saturated Fat, and Cholesterol: Tolerable Upper Intake of Zero (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/trans-fat-saturated-fat-and-cholesterol-tolerable-upper-intake-of-zero/).
 
Why is saturated fat intake associated with inflammation? See my three-parter The Leaky Gut Theory of Why Animal Products Cause Inflammation (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-leaky-gut-theory-of-why-animal-products-cause-inflammation/), The Exogenous Endotoxin Theory (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-exogenous-endotoxin-theory/), and Dead Meat Bacteria Endotoxemia (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dead-meat-bacteria-endotoxemia/).

But wait—what did those two recent studies on plant-based diets have to say? Find out in the next video Plant-Based Diets: Dental Health (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/plant-based-diets-dental-health/).
