Evaluate the following statement: "Only the quantity of sugar consumed affects caries development."
What will be an ideal response?
This statement has been disproven through scientific research, which has found that it is not only the quantity of sugar consumed, but also the form and whether it is consumed at/or between meals, that affects caries development. How quickly a food clears from the mouth is a large factor in its cariogenicity. It was found that the total amount of sugar consumed was not a critical factor concerning caries development when consumed at mealtime. Food combinations also play a role in the cariogenic potential of fermentable carbohydrates. A meal with a combination of protein, fat, and fermentable carbohydrate is less cariogenic than when sugars or starches are eaten alone.
