I think it's very important to have a feedback loop, where you're constantly thinking about what you've done and how you could be doing it better. I think that's the single best piece of advice: constantly think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself.
Elon Musk

But what has he achieved?
I made this for my FDs and yours, please support them through Peer review groups. Some blogs may be a starting point for discussion. We can improve their working environment, reduce their stress,  and enjoy their dentistry as I have, long enough to look after my teeth.

Diet advice advocacy

Why restrict our advice to teeth and gums?
​

We can take a central role in delivering better health, nudging the public who trust us to give health advice. Such as options as outlined here using the research on the effect of Ultra processed foods (UPFs), which Britain consume in higher quantities than any other European country. The increase in availability of this food packaging has a clear correlation with the increase in childhood obesity, with multiple alarming research and evidence ignored for many years. Just as many of todays youth may blame us about the world climate change, they will complain about their individual poor health.
​
Is todays evidence, tomorrows poor advice? It’s difficult to keep track on what is not necessarily the optimum way to live your life, but it is feasible with achievable goals.
I am old enough to have been told to “go to work on an egg”, then told to avoid due to cholesterol, but now eggs are OK, and anyway I take 10mg daily of the miracle statin to avoid a stroke that the drug protects 1 in 286 of those who are on the medication. I take it to ward off dementia, I'd rather not wait for the evidence. Although there is now evidence that taking the statin, omega 3, and a mini aspirin helps our immunity which therefore may help my gum health, and all three are relatively cheap.

We are all time poor, it’s why I made the App to save time supporting my oral advice health advice, and market my dental services. But why stop there? We can point anyone who follows our oral health advice, to more current basic health advice.

Earlier this year the government made a U turn on BOGOF deals at supermarkets on the basis of inflation, but more likely following intense lobbying from the multinational food suppliers. These UPFs, generally have created a massive long term problem not dissimilar to Tobacco or OxyContin.

Sugar produces far worse diseases than caries, lets engage with the public and help them enjoy better health with simple messages, as with UPFs Ultra Processed Foods. 

Marion Nestle, the former Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies and Public Health at New York University has multiple YouTube talks about how we are poisoning children, and how we are paying for it. The books on Food Politics & Soda Politics are long, and deeply depressing. For more info this is her website . 
Her Nobel Talk has the repeated theme of ADVOCACY where we as a profession have a potential huge role to play in helping improve our nations health from explaining the BPE, NEWS, and signposting trustworthy resources for our society to "take back control" of our health.


The simple message for all of us as advised by Micheal Pollan in his book In Defence of Food,
 
"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."

This is recent evidence on UPFs and weight gain and the start of the disease process.
The link to Kevin Halls research is here.

Which includes this text
Interestingly, the appetite-suppressing hormone PYY in- creased during the unprocessed diet as compared with both the ultra-processed diet and baseline. Also, the hunger hormone ghrelin was decreased during the unprocessed diet compared to baseline.


In conclusion, our data suggest that eliminating ultra-pro- cessed foods from the diet decreases energy intake and results in weight loss, whereas a diet with a large proportion of ultra-pro- cessed food increases energy intake and leads to weight gain.

This podcast from the excellent BBC podcast " A thorough examination" with the Van Tullekem doctors is easier to follow, with a brief explanation by Kevin Hall. 

Listen to the whole series, or their YouTube video on UPFs, as well as excellent videos which also explain erosion for children.




If you prefer watching, try this for Diabetes from a doctors view on living with Obesity.
The screenshot is from the final advice. Its passionate.

There is more value using our time do talking to patients and leading them to useful resources that may help improve their quality of life than writing masses of needless notes which are of little value to you, your patient, and ultimately your defence organisation.
We should work differently and collaboratively. We have the technology to make a cloud based diet history that not only noted the sugar intake and frequency, but the general quality of the diet. Tesco made the club card, and it helped improve their profits. The same data could help give advice on your health, but there is a clear conflict between your health, and their profits. Perhaps we could have access to our shopping habits via an NHS club card? When it comes to our health, Every little helps.

Another explanation with the general advice on sugar and diabetes.
Ted talks are a great source of learning from people working in their field of interest with evidence of their experience.

​

My calculations based on
In some cases, adults with a BMI of 30 or above will be eligible for the drug, for example individuals with a lower BMI but still qualify as obese. It is important to remember that even though up to a quarter of all UK adults have a BMI greater than 30, not all of them will need this drug.
-53million adults, approx 13.25 million obese.

Annual potential cost for NHS 13.25 million adults BMI >30 = £25 billion
​
As it can be bought over the counter, once the NHS no longer funds the drug, the public will. And while many with a BMI over 30 will not be eligible on the NHS, many below 30 will self medicate. Just like botox, once you have started you may find it difficult to  stop and it's the reason the share price has grown exponentially over the last few years. It is not a cure, that is not in their commercial interest.
When a company with a commercial value greater than the GPD of a country the size of Pakistan advertises their product, we need to market alternative health options constructively and collectively in a manner that benefits society as a whole.

Every recipe is quick and keeps my macros in check without sacrificing flavor.”

     After a while, when using an ultrasonic scaler, my mind drifts off. Sometimes I even wonder what I am doing, and why? In March 2016 Mrs Collins isolated premolar supporting her CoCr -/p was M2 and bleeding. Desperate measures were required, so I sent her a YouTube video form the excellent group Perio Courses. In July 2020 she still has no bleeding, no mobility, and a lower denture she likes-even more unusual. She was the tipping point for my teeth4life APP.
    The blog is not Peer-reviewed; it's observational. I hope my blogs and my "friends" blogs will help. I did not enjoy dentistry until I got interested and made it a hobby. As the saying goes, "if you make work your hobby, you will never work again".
    I retire October 1st 2020 and will continue with my hobby. Write something  yourself. No photos of what you have done this week, but something you did years ago. email me.
