Cranberries are a food that can damage teeth, and their juice has been studied and shown to reduce plaque. Cranberry juice is extremely acidic, and it is often mixed with other fruit juices as a cocktail. If you were to swish cranberry cocktail or even plain cranberry juice, it could easily ruin your teeth by eroding enamel and causing demineralization. It’s possible you have heard similar studies about grape seed extract, green tea, cider vinegar, and other foods that can reduce dental plaque, but I suggest these are completely inappropriate products for oral care. In the same way, sugary candies and mints, vitamin C lozenges, and cough syrup can be dental hazards. [2018] - Ellie Phillips

The more nuts and seeds (almonds, almond butter and paste, Brazil nuts, cashews and cashew butter, chestnuts, flaxseeds, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, peanuts and peanut butter, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, squash seeds, sesame seeds and tahini, sunflower seeds, and walnuts) consumed, the longer the telomeres. For every ten grams of nuts or seeds consumed per day, telomeres were 8.5 units longer over the course of a year. Ten grams is roughly one tablespoon of nuts, which is equivalent to: nine cashews; or seven walnuts; or six almonds; or four teaspoons of flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, or sunflower seeds; or two teaspoons of sesame seeds. [2019] - William W Li

The older you get, the less heart-essential coenzyme Q10 you have. Not so good, since 95% of the energy produced by the body depends on this electron transport chemical, making it important to eat more energy-producing greens, grains, and beans. [2009] - Frances Sheridan Goulart
