Eating sugary foods could have negative effects on our mouth since it produces acid oxQ79
Eating sugary foods could have negative effects on our mouth since it produces acid, which could generate dental caries. The given graph shows the acid level produced by three types of sweet foods, and how acid level is changed from the moment it is eaten to 40 minutes after. It is noticeable that the lower the PH values, the higher the acid levels are.
Overall, it is clear that even the three foods increase acidity in the mouth to a level that could cause caries, cane sugar is the sweet that increases acidity the most, while honey was the least prejudicial for dental health.
All the given foods lower the PH level down to 5. 5, the acid level that can cause tooth decay. However, honey and fruit sugar return fastly to acid levels that do not affect dental health, at about 14 minutes and 20 minutes respectively, while cane sugar takes 30 minutes to reach PH 5. 5.
Also, the three types of food hit their lowest PH level 5 minutes after being eaten. While fruit sugar PH levels increase steadily, honey acidity levels remain stable till 10 minutes after and then increase sharply. Contrastly, cane sugar acidity increase very slowly and steadily.
