Dental research published in the journal BMC Public Health addresses how sugary sweets are the root cause of tooth decay in kids and adults.
Studies led by the University College London and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine researched public health records from across the globe that revealed that people in the U.S. especially struggle with tooth decay. Called the most common non-infectious disease worldwide, it stems from consuming sugar in excessive amounts. Consider the significance of their findings that between 60 to 90% of school-age youth and 92% of grownups in the U.S. have experienced tooth decay.
“Only 2% of people at all ages living in Nigeria had tooth decay when their diet contained almost no sugar, around 2g per day. This is in stark contrast to the USA, where 92% of adults have experienced tooth decay,” study lead and author Aubrey Sheiham, emeritus professor of Dental Public Health at University College London, stated.
The research article posted on 12 May 2014 was titled “A reappraisal of the quantitative relationship between sugar intake and dental caries: the need for new criteria for developing goals for sugar intake”. The relationship between cavities and sugars is unmistakable.
“We need to make sure that use of fruit juices and the concept of sugar-containing treats for children are not only no longer promoted, but explicitly seen as unhelpful. Food provided at nurseries and schools should have a maximum of free sugars in the complete range of foods amounting to no more than 2.5% of energy,” says Sheiham.
