My contribution to the world on Dental Health observations, facts, and mastery that American Dentists are either ignorant on or are intentionally suppressing from their customers. Here are the previous parts to the series:
- Part 1: Crooked Teeth
- Part 2: Cavities
- Part 3: Bad Breath
Part 4: Plaque
Personally, I’ve found plaque build-up to be a simple condition and easy to master. Dental plaque is not a complex subject.
What is Dental Plaque?
According to Wikipedia today (June 13th, 2018):
“Dental plaque is a biofilm or mass of bacteria that grows on surfaces within the mouth.”
WRONG! This is simply a misunderstanding based on overlooked information that is taken for granted. Here’s what dental plaque really is…
- “Dental plaque is a mass of starchy substances excreted from inside the teeth as a means of balancing the blood chemistry and acidity.”
…and from this sugar-dense (“starchy”) buildup, bacteria readily and happily consumes from this mass—just like flies on cow manure. If you have a mouth full of plaque, then you:
- Consume any amount of starches, and
- Your mouth is full of crap and a bunch of flies and maggots crawling around (metaphorically). Hehe! :)
Dental Plaque is a symptom of starch detoxification.
Additionally, I have experienced that the observable amounts of dental plaque is also a result from high protein diets. It’s not the “high protein” that turns into plaque; rather, it is the fact that the “high protein” intake disrupts our critical blood balance, forcing the internal body into a “fight or flight” type of response, and resulting into excreting this substance through various parts of the body—including the teeth—which we observe as a “detoxification” symptom.
What exactly is “Starch”?
Starch is referring to a more complex form of basic sugars. Basically, a polysaccharide (complex sugar) is commonly referred to as a “starch” due to its sticky texture. In other words, starch is what you want to use to glue things together. According to Merriam-Webster,
“Starch is a white odorless tasteless granular or powdery complex carbohydrate (C6H10O5)x that is the chief storage form of carbohydrate in plants, is an important foodstuff, and is used also in adhesives and sizes, in laundering, and in pharmacy and medicine.”
Pay attention to the opinion in this definition: “...is an important foodstuff” The opinion is merely to influence your own opinion and serve a food industry. This is not a conspiracy theory, it is simply a dogma that does not serve humanity.
Starch is a Pollutant to the Human Body
The cells in the human body do not contain a means to transfer starches into the cells. Therefore, nearly all starch that enters the bloodstream will not become absorbed into the cells and will be excreted in various means—such as excretion via the teeth. PLAQUE! :)
Dr. John McDougal suggests a starch-based diet that he calls the “Starch Solution”. His book is very popular. My friends, I want to warn you that starch is not a solution, it is a “pollution”. (
Since starch is a pollutant and does not serve the human body, it is therefore a waste product. You can observe this waste product in your stool, in the urine, and even on the surface of the teeth.
Demystifying Wikipedia’s Inaccurate “Plaque” Article.
Here are some responses to the Wikipedia article. I feel that these responses are valuable to understand that even though the article is a bit misguided, you can clearly make the connection that Dental Plaque is the “sweating” of starches through the teeth.
“Dental plaque . . . . is a sticky colorless deposit at first, but when it forms tartar, it is often brown or pale yellow.”
Of course! Starch is a sticky, colorless mass. Thing about some common, and the most sticky, forms of starches: white rice, pasta, bread, etc.
“It is commonly found between the teeth, on the front of teeth, behind teeth, on chewing surfaces, along the gumline, or below the gumline cervical margins.”
Of course! Your teeth are excreting these starches that build up as “plaque”, and therefore you are going to observe the dental plaque all over the teeth. You will especially observe this build-up around areas where there is a weakened enamel structure, such as by the gumline for most people eating a “civilized” diet.
“. . . Bacterial plaque is one of the major causes for dental decay and gum disease.”
This sentence is not bad, but it can be better stated: starches are one of the major causes for dental decay and gum disease partially due to blood acidity. The bacteria is always present and thrives once starches are on the surface of the teeth.
- “. . . can give rise to tooth decay – the localised destruction of the tissues of the tooth by acid produced from the bacterial degradation of fermentable sugar . . .”
This has been debunked over and over again: the acid exposure to the teeth from bacteria cannot harm your teeth. Check out Andrew Perlot’s experiment in the video below. Warning: this is in no way a comprehensive experiment; however, it is a great primer to get started in understanding the message here!
- “. . . hence it is important to disrupt the mass of bacteria and remove it. Plaque control and removal can be achieved with correct daily or twice-daily tooth brushing and use of interdental aids such as dental floss and interdental brushes.”
This is very misleading, and you will never master your oral health with this advice. It is important to disrupt one’s unnecessary desire to consume starches! Plaque “control” is achieved by your “control” to abstain from consuming starches. Whether you brush your teeth or not, a heavy diet of starches will eventually result in a cavity, chipped tooth, cracked tooth, root canals, etc. Sucks, eh? The good news is that you can stop this for GOOD when you eliminate starches from your diet.
Plaque Composition
Again from Wikipedia:
“Approximately 80–90% of the weight of plaque is water. While 70% of the dry weight is bacteria, the remaining 30% consists of polysaccharides and glycoproteins.”
WELLLLLL Welllll... WELL! Polysaccharides are starches, and glycoproteins are basically proteins and simple starches. This sentence contradicts the article’s earlier sentence that explains dental plaque to be only a “biofilm”, or a layer of bacteria. Once again, plaque is starch, and bacteria just happen to be attracted to it! And where did this starch come from? Well, clearly the starch will still become present even if you brush your teeth immediately after meals. (See my experiment below for more information.) So I ask once again, where is this starch coming from? It’s coming from inside your body.
This graphic—found on the Wikipedia link below—talks a big game about bacteria colonies and fails to mention the origination of the mysterious polysaccharides and glycoproteins. Once again, this is starch, and the sticky starch formed on the teeth after being excreted by the teeth. This is one of the many genius functions of our teeth to save us from suicide by starch! :)
And where did that starch come from? It came from oral consumption, also known as “eating starch”!
Preventing and Entirely Eliminating Dental Plaque Build-up
Dental Plaque build-up is impossible on a diet free of starch and complex proteins.
It’s that simple.
Recent Experiment of Mine
My friend really wanted to have popcorn. Honestly, I did not want to have any, and I thought mainly about how eating popcorn would ultimately result in plaque building-up in my mouth. However, I observed the following facts:
- Throughout this entire year, I’ve had virtually zero dental plaque build-up. This is significant when you consider the fact that I brush my teeth maybe once every other week to once every other month. (Don’t try this at home—not everyone can do this readily!)
- Suddenly, I would have a significant and noticeable amount of plaque build-up.
- In fact, this would be a great opportunity to see how quickly plaque returns after eating popcorn! Good opportunity, eh?
So I ate a lot of popcorn that day. Popcorn is nearly all starch, by the way! The popcorn was just too unsatisfying; I could not get enough. The day after my friend and I binged on popcorn, for the first time in months I had starches building up on my teeth! I’m sorry, did I say starches? I meant “dental plaque”. Same thing. This build-up occurred throughout the day. I predicted that I would have plaque build up afterwards, and I was not surprised.
I brushed my teeth after I figured noticed the starch, and my teeth were smooth again, rather than feeling “fuzzy”. After brushing, my diet consisted of raw fruits and starch-free veggies—and absolutely no starchy popcorn! Remember, ripe and raw fruits have no starch.
Although I continued to “sweat” starchy plaque from my teeth, I did not bring in starch as food. Why is this the case? Why did I continue to detox this starch through my teeth? Well, there’s a very important lesson here...
If you have Dental Plaque, you also have Plaque in your blood!
Simply put: starchy plaque was still in my blood, and therefore, I would continue to have plaque build-up until the body got rid of the majority of the plaque (starch) inside my body.
After a couple of days, I had absolutely no more dental plaque. I stopped brushing my teeth once again.
And today I continue to have no plaque build-up. How is it possible that I have no dental plaque build-up when I am not brushing my teeth? Because I am not consuming this “plaque” (starch) in the first place! Nor have I consumed a polluting amount of starch within the last 2 years.
Dental Plaque is Starch
And furthermore...
Starch Consumption results in Crooked Teeth due to Dental Plaque

Thank you! :)
It is my wish to serve you with these words.
Some info about me: I've been involved with Bitcoin since 2010. By trade I am an expert on blockchain technology. I am the Project Director for Wall of Coins, and CEO for Genitrust, Inc. I eat primarily fruits and leafy greens ("fruitarian"). This is known as a frugivorous diet, which is the diet by design of the human species and most primates. I don't cook my fruits, so you may also call this "raw vegan". I have eaten virtually every food item and major cultural style on this planet. I have experienced long periods of many different diet regimens: acid/alkaline, ketogenic, vegan, etc. In my spare time as a child, and an adult, I truly relished reading articles, books, and research papers on nutritional observation. I also enjoy and frequently practice long periods of juice fasting, water fasting, and dry fasting.
Thank you for reading, upvoting, tipping, and re-steeming!
