Difference in the Caries-Producing Effects of two Purified Diets Containing the Same Amount of Sugar

Abstract
Litter mates of both albino rats and cotton rats were fed two synthetic diets that differed quantitatively in a considerable number of their constituents but were identical in their sugar content. One of these diets proved to be much more cariogenic than the other, indicating that the sugar content of the diet does not necessarily provide a measure of its cariogenicity.
