Research teams recently decided to analyze various aspects of a bad diet.
They showed the sensitivity of cariogenesis to low sugar intakes. They also explored the role of sucrose in the cariogenic process and determined that free sugars are the main factor in the way dental caries develop.
The information appeared in the International and American Associations for Dental Research (IADR/AADR).
Earlier this year, the World Health Organization published a guideline on sugar intake for adults and children. The goal was to offer a recommended sugar intake amount for adults and children, focusing on the prevention and control of weight gain and dental caries.
Based on the information from WHO, there are more dental diseases worldwide than any other noncommunicable disease. The organization also stated that the expenses would be more than the entire financial resources available for the healthcare of children in most lower-income countries. The guidelines show that the intake of free sugar should be less than 10 percent of all energy intake.
The study indicated that there was a dose-response relationship between the sucrose and its monosaccharide intakes. The development of caries throughout life was displayed. It was clear that there was a health risk as life progressed.
The studies also showed that it’s important to find the best way to look at some of these policies regarding sugar and to make sure that a positive behavior change will soon take effect.
