Simple carbohydrates that contain vitamins and minerals occur naturally in fruits, vegetables and milk and milk byproducts. Simple carbohydrates are also found in processed and refined sugars such as candy, regular/non-diet carbonated beverages, syrups, and table sugar. These refined sugars provide calories, but no nutrients, vitamins or minerals. Simple carbohydrates are broken down quickly by the body providing energy states A.D.A.M., the American Accreditation HealthCare Commission (www.urac.org) or it's second corporate name DBA.
Frequent consumption of simple carbohydrates, primarily in the form of dietary sugars is significantly associated with increased dental caries risk, reports the University of Nevada Las Vegas School of Dental Medicine.
Over 10 years ago, it was concluded that a high consumption of various fruits over a long period is associated with a high caries experience, says IBID, the International Bibliographic Information on Dietary Supplements. The IBID composes information from the National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements, USDA Agriculture Research Service, and National Agricultural Library. I have not been able to find studies more recent, but epidemiological studies show that consumption of starchy staple foods and fresh fruit are associated with low levels of dental caries, according to WHO Collaborating Centre for Nutrition and Oral Health, School of Dental Sciences, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.
