Popis: The frequency of between-meal eating and the consumption of flour-sugar mixtures in snacks may be as important as sucrose content in determining the cariogenicity of foods. A survey of the relationship between caries prevalence and the consumption of sugar and other foods by man has been interpreted to show that snack foods share importance with sucrose in caries causation. Support for this conclusion is found in animal experiments and some in vitro and in vivo tests.
