The linear graphs portray the
PH
 acid
level
 produced in the mouth after eating honey, cane
sugar
 and fruit which causes
tooth
decay
 from the moment of
consumption
 until twenty
minutes
 after eating when the risk of
tooth
decay
 decreases. Cane
sugar
 has the greatest amount of acidity in the mouth after
consumption
. From the moment of eating cane
sugar
 , the
PH
level
 decreases to just above 3.0;
however
, it begins to gradually increase reaching a
PH
level
 of approximately 5.5 just thirty
minutes
 after eating, after which it enters the zone where the
tooth
decay
 is less likely to occur. By the same token, fruit
sugar
 has a similar trend , in as
such
 that five
minutes
 after its
consumption
, the
PH
level
 rapidly rises up to reach nearly 5.5 at which the acid
level
 decreases 20
minutes
 after
consumption
.
By contrast
, five
minutes
 from the moment of
consumption
 , the
PH
level
 of honey reaches 5.0 and remains at
this
 rate for an additional five
minutes
, after which over the next ten
minutes
 gradually rises up to a
PH
level
 of approximately 5.5, at which the risk of
tooth
decay
 is unlikely.
