Fast-Mimicking Diet Reduces Gum Disease Inflammation in 6-Month Clinical Trial
New research published in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology explores the fast-mimicking diet (FMD) as a potential treatment for periodontitis (serious gum disease). The study, conducted over 6 months, found that FMD reduced gum disease inflammation by affecting systemic bodily responses rather than just targeting the mouth directly. The approach focuses on how diet influences overall body inflammation, which in turn impacts oral health.
Key quotes

Factors in our blood signal a systemic response to the foods we eat, which might, in a roundabout way, influence the health of our gums and teeth.
Researchers looking for ways to treat serious gum disease (periodontitis) are now taking that wider view, exploring dietary approaches that affect the body as a whole, not just the mouth.
