Those who stand up and hungry at night and eat, can cause severe damage to their teeth, even to lose, regardless of the exact type of food they consume, warns a new Danish scientific research. Researchers at the University of Copenhagen, a survey published in the magazine on nutrition "Eating Behaviours", in cooperation with U.S. counterparts, according to the BBC, give damage to the teeth to change the flow of saliva, which tends to dry night.

As stated, we need enough saliva to remove the remnants of food and this can be done much better day, but not at night. The investigation, which lasted for six years, studied the cases of more than 2200 people, of which 8% said they ate regularly at night. It was estimated that these individuals consume over one quarter of the daily intake of calories were eaten after a formal dinner or wake at night and ... tsimpologousan in the moonlight.

But according to scientists, the food intake at night, when the mouth is more dry due to changes in saliva, means that more food remains in the teeth for more time, thus causing more damage to the teeth, especially if evening meals are sugar or acids (eg refreshments).

The survey found that finally, after six years, the "night types" had paid the "price", and had lost more teeth than other people with more normal eating habits
