The graph presents the acidity level of the mouth after consuming three different sweet items- fruit sugar, cane sugar, and honey over forty minutes. As is given in the line graph, high acid levels are measured by the low pH level in our mouth, and the lower the pH level, it is more likely to decay the tooth.
At the moment of eating three sweets, acid levels are very low and equal at 7 pH then begins to fall after consuming sweet foods. When we eat sweet item like cane sugar, the pH level drops to 3. 5 after 5 minutes and remain at a dangerous level which is below pH level 5. 5 for more than 30 minutes. Consuming fruit sugar drops the pH level nearly to 4 and remains at danger level for about 20 minutes. And finally, when we eat honey, the pH level falls below 5 and it remains under risk level for about 13 minutes.
In summary, all three sweet items have a chance to cause tooth decay. However, among the three, honey is less likely to cause dental problems as it loses its acidity faster compared to fruit and cane sugars.
