Bread line study links bread to tooth decay
Boston researchers at Forsyth Dental Center test a lab based cavity model using cow tooth slices and Streptococcus mutans to measure acid generation and early tooth loss. The study shows decay begins within five minutes of eating and that chewing sugar coated treats fast may be worse or better for teeth than spaced snacks. The aim is to guide safer food recipes and possibly replace cavity causing bacteria while noting current rinsing offers no protection.
