The bacteria in the mouth feed on carbohydrates, so reducing sugar intake reduces the risk of tooth decay. Besides cutting the amount of sugar in our diet, it is also important to pay attention to the texture of the food we eat (liquid, solid or chewy), to its nutritional composition, to the combination of foods we eat and to the order in which we eat them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The WHO recommends that free sugars make up less than 10% of total energy intake and that they are consumed no more than 4 times a day. “Free sugars” means all added sugars, in other words sugars not naturally present in fruit, vegetables or milk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Added sugars include refined sugar, cane sugar, icing sugar, honey, sucrose, glucose, maple syrup and so on. We often add them knowingly to the food and drinks we consume (think of the sugar or honey stirred into a cup of tea or coffee), but most of the time we eat them without realising, because they are hidden in the snacks we reach for between meals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main culprits include sweets, especially chewy ones that stick to the teeth; crunchy foods such as packet crisps, rich in starch that gets trapped between the teeth; confectionery (biscuits, snack cakes and so on); fizzy drinks; energy drinks and alcoholic drinks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can we cut down on these hidden sugars?
