Biography

Tetsuo Nakamoto educational background is dentistry. After graduating the dental school in Japan. He came to US to study dentistry, prosthodontics, a field of making false teeth. However, after finishing the training of this area, he realized that he wanted to study the basic science of dentistry and/or medicine to pursue the academic aspect, instead of simply as a dentist at the dental practice. He did not know what he really wanted to studying the beginning, although He chose physiology, because he liked the professor of physiology in the dental school. However, he eventually end up at MIT, studying the nutritional biochemistry and metabolism. He felt that he finally found the area where he can devote my life. Because he was unique studying physiology and nutritional aspect, he called as nutritional physiologist. Although digestion is the main areas of physiology, nobody called before, nutritional physiology. Recently, a fellow in the American Physiological Society asked to the colleagues who are interested in the area of nutritional physiology and he proposed to form a group which is interested in this area. Finally we may be opening up the new field. The growing body is the most vulnerable to certain period of time such as pregnancy and/or early neonatal periods by the various nutritional stresses. His main research was concentrated in this area. During the process of studying caffeine’s effects in developing teeth, a serendipitous discover, theobromine, was made. He retired and become a professor emeritus in 2006 after Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina which devastated New Orleans provided me another opportunity as an entrepreneur to produce the toothpastes without fluoride. This toothpaste based upon theobromineis superior in every aspect to that of fluoride based toothpastes. Because of the well-known adverse effects of fluoride, we believe eventually fluoride based toothpastes might be replaced with theobromine based ingredient in dentifrices.
