THE ACIDITY OF SALIVA AFTER INGESTION OF CARBOHYDRATE-AND ACID-CONTAINING SUBSTANCES

H. W. HAGGARD M.D.1 and LEON A. GREENBERG PH.D.1

1 Laboratory of Applied Physiology, Yale University, New Haven, Conn.

1. The ingestion of carbohydrate-containing substances causes no significant acidity of the saliva.

2. The ingestion of acidulated beverages such as common fruit juices or soft drinks results in acidity of the saliva for a short period of time.

3. A corrosive action, so as to cause dental caries, either on the exposed surfaces of the teeth or in sheltered areas, by the acidity of fruit juices or soft drinks, appears unlikely in the normal consumption of these beverages.
