A. Their negative effects would be reduced because they will no longer be able to produce mucilage and stick to teeth. B. Their negative effects would be reduced because they will no longer be able to produce the acid that damages teeth. C. Their negative effects would be increased because it will cause them to produce mucilage, allowing them to stick to teeth. D. Their negative effects would be increased because it will cause them to produce the acid that damages teeth. E.
