BWW Reviews: FOOD FOR THOUGHT Event and Polident Gives Denture Wearers Great Recipe Ideas

A recent "Food for Thought" event was held at the Miette Culinary Institute on Mulberry Street in New York City. Polident® and Super Poligrip® products were displayed with summer foods that many denture wearers typically avoid. A new survey shows denture wearers are challenged when selecting which foods to eat. The number one concern for denture wearers is getting food stuck in or under their dentures which leads them to avoid eating summer delights like corn and apples.

Attendees learned how to prepare delicious summer foods that can be enjoyed by denture wearers and many more. Broadwayworld.com has one of the salad recipes by Chef Sui Lon Chan that all of our readers will enjoy:
