I wish that more people that wanted to put up adjunctive ideas looked into things as well as this poster. While the studies are ongoing, there is preliminary info from reliable and trusted sources. That doesn't mean it's going to end up being the next coming, it means that the idea and proof of principle evidence was good enough to get funding from credible people and institutions. We'll know more in another year about this, as to whether or not it is a meaningful and helpful adjunct.

Should some of you decide this idea is worth pursuing, please check with your treating doctors. Also remember that those of us that have radiation have high susceptibility to dental caries. If someone is going to do this, you are putting sugar directly in an environment that is already cavity prone. Something that sugar along with poor hygiene practices is public enemy number one for. Hygiene and monitoring from a dental person I think would be prudent to have at full speed while doing this.
