 Due to diet concerns or because they're allergic to lactose, millions of people around the world have switched from drinking cow's milk plant-based products such as almond milk. With this practice comes increased concerns about your oral health.What is Almond Milk?Almond milk is usually a combination of almonds, water, sweeteners, thickeners, and added vitamins such as Vitamin D. The sweeteners added to almond milk can contribute to oral cavities, but you could get around this problem by purchasing the unsweetened kind. Is Almond Milk Healthy for Your Teeth?People who are concerned that almond milk is not going to have enough calcium and vitamin D, you should not worry. Even though almond milk doesn't contain the same amount of calcium that animal milk does because it is plant-based, it is still a good source of this vitamin and it helps to keep your teeth and bones strong and dense. You can also choose to include other calcium rich foods in your diet and take supplements to keep the levels needed in your body. If you are lactose intolerant and are looking for an alternative to cow's milk or other animal-based milk, there are several options available at your grocery store, including almond milk. However, when choosing this product, you must read the labels carefully and make sure that you choose the option with the least amount of sugar and ones that are enriched with calcium and vitamin D for good bone and teeth health. When trying a new product, it is always a good idea to read the labels carefully and make sure that you are getting what you want. Almond milk has less fat and calories than cow's milk and may also reduce the risk of heart disease. To keep your teeth healthy, choose the unsweetened kind. |
