Question

Which of the following statements is true? Group of answer choices Bread is as likely as candy to cause cavities. The sugar in fruit is better for you than the sugar in candy. Sugar causes hyperactivity Sugar causes diabetes

Answer 1

Bread is as likely as candy to cause cavities.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bread is a refined carbohydrate made from mostly white flours. White flours are simple sugars.Thus after consumption, without teeth brush, they are deposited in teeth crevices.Where they are broken down, by salivary enzyme amylase to simple sugars.

The sugar deposit is fed on by oral bacteria in the mouth and teeth, and their toxic acidic wastes deposits on the tooth enamel causing cavities.

Thus bread has the same cavity causing effect as candy, although candy effect is direct and faster than that of bread.

Answer 2

Bread is as likely as candy to cause cavities.

Step-by-step explanation:

The above statement is true because starchy, refined carbohydrate foods such as bread, chips, crackers or pasta can be as harmful to the teeth as candy. Starches that are made from white flour are plain carbohydrates and can remain in your mouth after which it then breaks itself down into simple sugars. Mouth bacteria feed on these sugar particles thereby producing acids, which causes tooth decay.
