The suggestion to brush your teeth immediately after a meal may sound logical to some people, but not if you understand that your mouth is almost always acidic after a meal. It can take about an hour for this acidity to dissipate. This is why some dentists tell their patients to wait an hour before brushing. If you brush acid- softened enamel, it will easily be abraded or worn. In my opinion, the best solution is to use xylitol at the end of meals. If xylitol is not available, an option would be to have a tooth-protective food like whole milk or cheese or to rinse the mouth with water to wash away the acidity. [2018] - Ellie Phillips

Nori, the most accessible seaweed, are the sheets used for making sushi rolls, but they can also make quick and easy snacks. It's hard to beat the nutrient density; each sheet has as little as a single calorie.

The dose they were given was equivalent to about 7 sheets of nori a day, though, so it's not clear what the effects of smaller does might be. [2023] - Michael Greger
