Did you know the average Canadian eats the same as 40kg of sugar every year? Here are three big takeaways if you want to have better dental health:
- Make water your drink of choice
- Limit sugary snacks
- Read the labels when you’re shopping
You can cut this down by drinking water instead of sugary drinks (like juices) and choosing sugar-free snacks (like plain yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, fruit, nuts and seeds). When you are grocery shopping, look at the ingredients. Honey, molasses, glucose, and fructose are all types of sugar.
