does honey cause tooth decay?

Question

i was just wondering becasue honey is the only food that does not spool. So i was wondering since it does not spoil will it harm your teeth or maybe prevent tooth decay.

Answer 1

THE REASON WHY HONEY DOES NOT SPOIL IT'S BECAUSE IT CONTAINS NO OTHER NATURAL INGREDIENTS THAT WOULD SPOIL, EG, JAM, ETC.
THE HONEY IS ACTUALLY MADE UP OF BEE SALIVA THAT HAS BEEN MADE TO FEED THE OTHER BEES IN THE HIVE.
THE LEFT OVER BACTERIA ON YOUR TEETH WILL EAT ANY SACCHARIDES, INCLUDING HONEY, THEREFORE, HONEY DOESN'T PREVENT TOOTH DECAY.

Answer 4

All sugars are preservatives. (just like salt) Decay is caused by bacteria using the sugar (honey, bread, ...any fermentable carbohydrate). The only "sugar" known to help prevent tooth decay is the sugar alcohol xylitol. Consuming gum or mints in 5 to 15 grams per day has been shown to be effective at killing bacteria. (more may just cause diarrhea). Look for gums/mints that list xylitol as the first ingredient, then spread out using it over the course of the day.

Answer 5

Honey can cause tooth decay

Answer 6

honey is tasty and delicious millions of bees are NOT incinerated daily. bears do not brush their teeth, thus leading to tooth decay. high fructose corn syrup is far worse for the human body than any natural sugar. i would tell you to learn the facts, but you don't seem the type of person who would let the facts get in your way, so i won't bother
