After a few years of this, my teeth were plaquing up really fast, and then I started experiencing intestinal bleeding. For weeks. Nothing I did changed that, until I switched to a 100% vegan diet with lots of fiber, and the intestinal bleeding stopped overnight. And my dentist commented on the fact that my teeth looked like I flossed daily, when I didn't at all. Almost no plaque at all.
I, personally, now think that eating animal products tears us up inside and induces a histamine reaction that slowly but surely damages the tubes. All the tubes. So, after reading about the results of The China Study, I became a non-proselytizing vegan. I do it for my benefit, not for the animals or the planet.
