The main cause of cavities is not sugar, but soda pop. Sodas are very acidic, ph around 4.0 (the pH of vinegar), which will dissolve a nail. This weakens the enamel so that sugar & food particles can penetrate the enamel and cause cavities. As a child, I often drank a six-pack of Dr Pepper or Coke per day (during summer months) and now as a senior citizen, I am mostly dentures. So stopping sugar is not enough…
