The addition of brewer's yeast obtained from Amsterdam, Holland, did not affect the cariogenicity of our high-sucrose diet. These results were the same as those previously obtained in our laboratories with Fleischmann's yeast. The inconsistencies in the results obtained by various investigators on the modification of the cariogenicity of the diet by the addition of yeast necessitate further investigation of this problem.
