Foods sources high in vitamin K2 include:

  • Grass-fed beef
  • Dairy from grass-fed sources
  • Fermented foods kimchi and sauerkraut
  • Fermented dairy such as kefir
  • Chicken and goose liver
  • Eggs
  • Japanese natto
Back when I was a child there was a great fuss about sugar and tooth decay. We " solved" it by putting flouride in the water. In doing so we missed the point - sugar rots teeth and every cell in the body leading to manifestations everywhere from diabetes, to cancer, heart disease, alzheimers and much else.

The dietary/ fat heart hypotheses held that having rotten teeth was a small price to pay for the huge improvements that would come from cutting out saturated fats. It should have understood that the rotten teeth were simply stage 1 of the progression to everything else.

I guess for all of us the lesson to learn is making sure that we do not have bleeding gums, and are getting enough vitamin K2 from whatever source.
 
Ive been taking K2 since I was diagnosed with severe Vitamin D deficiency - it apparently plays an important role in the absorbtion of Vit D but cant remember what it is!

As Homer Simpson would say, "Doh! It seemed like a good idea at the time."
