| Consider how the food you eat affects your dental health! |
If
you believe that frozen yogurt is better for your health than
ice-cream, you may want to think again! While frozen yogurt may be healthier for
your diet, it is not good for your teeth. Frozen yogurt
contains a variety of sugars that can lead to tooth decay.
Contained within the ingredients of
frozen yogurt resides evaporated cane juice.
Evaporated cane juice is another form of sugar, and should never be referred to as
a "healthy" sugar. Both contain molasses, but evaporated cane juice has
a somewhat lower percentage.
Regardless of the types of sugar you
eat, when you consume food containing sugar you are putting yourself at risk of getting cavities. Sugar is a leading contributor to dental decay which can lead to other dental diseases. Don't feel like you need to eliminate frozen yogurt all together, but realize that the "health benefits" of frozen yogurt also include risks to your dental health.
