I have been eating 80-10-10 for about a year now. Some things have been great; my acne, dandruff, blood shot eyes, blocked ears, blocked nose all vanished. In fact, everything was great except for one thing - my gums began to recede, and continued to recede the entire time I was eating 80-10-10 to the point now where they are horrifically bad.

I have eaten cooked vegan for the last week. As expected, all my pre 80-10-10 problems are coming back straight away, however, my gums have also become painfree, less inflamed and healthier in this short ammount of time; the gum issue has clearly been solved (at the expense of the rest of my health) by simply replacing fruit with potatoes and broccoli. Oral hygene etc is obviously not the issue (nor is my oral hygene poor).

I've seen a lot of posts about receding gums on various raw vegan forums and usually there isn't all that much advice. Clearly not everyone has gum recession on 80-10-10, but for those who do it seems there is little they can do? I guess if water, sugar, sleep is giving you problems, there's not much you can really do to change this, but perhaps someone has had success in the past?

It's incredibly confusing and annoying that fruit, which is clearly the optimal food for humans, is giving me this problem.
