Sugar causes tooth decay
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
When sugar mixes with the bacteria in the mouth, it produces acid that wears down tooth enamel (the outer layer of the tooth) and causes tooth decay. Starchy foods also have a damaging effect on teeth. This is due to an enzyme in our saliva called amylase, which breaks it down into glucose (a type of sugar). Bacteria feeds on the sugar to produce acid.Rate this question:
