Eating sweet foods produces acid in the mouth, which can cause tooth decay. (High acid levels are measured by low pH values) v. 8
The given line graph illustrates the various acid levels in the mouth related to three different sweet foods such as fruit sugar, cane sugar and honey. The first point to note is that acid levels due to these different sweets are at a level at tooth decay is unlikely to occur both at the time of eating and after 15 minutes of eating.
At the moment of eating of three sweets, acid levels are very low and equal at 7 pH. Then after 5 minutes, it dropped to a pH of 3. 5, 4. 5, and 5 by cane and fruit sugar and honey respectively. Acid levels in the mouth gradually decrease and reached to the minimum value within half an hour of cane sugar eating. Acid variations in mouth after eating fruit and cane sugar are almost equal for the next 5 minutes and followed by a difference of 1 pH value for the next 20 minutes. However, after 30minutes of eating sugar and cane sugar, pH value raised and reached to 7 and the acid level hit the lowest level.
To sum up, it is clear from the graph that, the given sweets produces high levels of acids in the mouth soon after eating, but reaches to a safe level which tooth decay is not likely to occur within 10-15 minutes.
