Red wine will help prevent tooth decay
New research published in the "Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry" of the American Chemical Society , reports that red wine and grape seed extract can serve as a means of preventing caries.
Caries, paradontosis and other oral diseases suffer from 60 to 90% of the world's population. “Problems begin when bacteria present in the oral cavity form biofilms that are quite difficult to destroy. Formation of plaque and acid is emitted, corrosive enamel. Brushing your teeth with a fluoride paste helps, but its effect is short. Some studies have shown that grape seed extract and wine can slow the growth of bacteria. We decided to check it out, ”says Maria Victoria Moreno-Arribas, head of the research team.
During the experiment, the biofilms of bacteria were alternately immersed for a couple of minutes in various liquids: in red wine containing and not containing alcohol, in red wine with the addition of grape seed extract, in water with 12% ethanol content. Red wine, regardless of the presence of alcohol in it, as well as wine with grape seed extract, were most effective in getting rid of bacteria.
