Eating sweet foods produces acid in the mouth, which can cause tooth decay. (High acid levels are measured by low pH values) Describe the information below and discuss the implications for dental health.
The line chart depicts the level of acidity in mouth after consuming sweets. At a glance, fruit sugar, cane sugar, and honey might cause tooth decay a moment after being eaten and cane sugar is the worst of all.
To begin with, the decreasing rate of PH level from honey is slower than cane and fruit sugar reaching just slightly above 5. Meanwhile, fruit sugar and cane sugar substantially dip to almost 4 and 3, 5 respectively.
Subsequently, after 5 minutes, the PH level up for fruit and cane sugar which means the level of acidity decrease. Nevertheless, honey levels-off until 10 minutes. At this point, fruit sugar temporarily passes the PH level of honey before honey's rockets until the next 15 minutes and follow by a plateau trend. Meanwhile, both of the fruit and cane sugar notably rise with a small oscillation until the end (minutes 40th).
Finally, the PH level of the three foods are at the same level and might not cause tooth decay at above 12, 5 minutes, 20 minutes, and 30 minutes for each of honey, fruit sugar, and cane sugar.
