Candy Proven to Be Tooth Decay Culprit The first really convincing proof that candy is harmful to teeth came from a group 0 Swedish dentists four ye: ago, They made a five-year. study ‘of young adults in ‘a mental hospital. After recording the pro- gress of tooth decay for nine SEA United Appeal $24,000 Thanks to You" It's Working months on the regular institu- tion diet, with no. food between ofs—meals; aia ase the RES: J : add tients ‘int oups and: ae -in’” various forms for periods lasting | one or: two: years. ne Large additions of-sugar with meals, either in beverages or bread, made little difference in tooth decay. A chocolate bar between’ meals each day in- creased it to some extent. . Caramels between meals speeded decay even more, but when the between-meal snack consisted of toffee there was a tremendous jump in tooth decay. Sticky sweets are especi- ally harmful because they cling _to the: teeth, Germs,. always present in the mouth, convert the sugar into acids. These acids are strong enough to burn a tiny hole in the protective enamel—starting decay. So sticky candies between meals should certainly be out if you want to preserve your youngater’s teeth. Instead, give them raw ‘fruit .and other snacks to discourage: eating candy between meals entirely. If you don't have candies around, your. baby won't develop a taste for them.
