Abstract
Experiments with hamsters showed that there are caries-inhibitory substances in brown sugar, in the solid crystallized form as well as in treacle. The cariostatic effect was also apparent when the brown sugar was baked into bread. A synergistic effect was exerted by added phosphate. Two experiments comparing fresh sugar beets with refined sugar did not demonstrate any caries-inhibitory property of the beets. An experiment with small beet flakes suspended in water gave less caries than a solution of refined sugar. Since, however, other conditions might have differed, definite conclusions cannot be drawn from this experiment.
