The given line graph gives information on the amount of acid produced in our mouth by eating sugar and honey made from three different resources namely fruit, sugarcane and honey. Also, the graph estimates the time taken by them to reach different acid levels which are related to the tooth decay.
The maximum level of acidity produced by sugar content is reached 5 minutes after consuming them reaching up to 3. 5 pH for sugarcane, 4 pH for fruit sugar and 5 pH for honey. After this time the acidity level declines for cane and fruit sugar, whereas it is sustained for 10 minutes for honey. Honey takes approximately 15 minutes to reach the pH of 5. 5. It is at this pH at which tooth decay is unlikely. Fruit sugar takes 20 minutes and cane sugar takes the maximum time to reach this safety level. After 40 minutes all three sugars reach neutral pH that is 7.
Acidity promotes tooth decay which results in teeth cavities. Proper brushing and mouth washing can eliminate sugar particles and may protect teeth from the hazards of high acid levels.
From the given data it is clear that cane sugar has the highest acidity and its acid content above safety level is sustained for the longest period in our mouth. Therefore it should be avoided. Honey is the safest sugary food which causes least chances of tooth decay.
