Hi,
Brian just gave his presentation last night (Dutch time...) for GOLD,
explaining this.
It's carbohydrates ADDED to breastmilk, that cause caries.
If it would be mm, it would cause caries anyway, not just during the night.
It's the other substances or not good enough oral hygiene and the number of
'sweet' moment over the day.
Good advice, to have your dentist checkout Brian's site... as long as it
stays up-to-date!
GOLD announced he is retiring completely now and yesterday was his last
lecture... :-(
Bye,
Marianne Vanderveen IBCLC, Netherlands (and like a severely addicted junkie
hooked to the GOLD-site this weekend ;o))
