Cavities are not caused by sugar or any food, but by bacteria that feed on sugar. They produce an acid that causes demineralization. These bacteria often come from outside sources, such as strangers or from sharing bottles and kissing.
Therefore, when it comes to cavities, there is no need to avoid any particular food or drink.
The degree to which cavities can form is based on the amount of time the mouth is in a demineralized state!
