| Your Teeth Are What You Eat! |
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.
