  • Title: Animal studies concerning the cariogenicity of dry breakfast cereals.
    Author: McDonald JL, Stookey GK.
    Journal: J Dent Res; 1977 Aug; 56(8):1001-6. PubMed ID: 270483.
    Abstract:
    Four studies were performed in rats and hamsters concerning the cariogenicity of cereals and the role of sucrose in that process. The findings indicate that sucrose content per se does not necessarily reflect the cariogenic potential. Presweetened cereals were more conducive to the formation of smooth surface caries in the hamster than were nonpresweetened cereals while no major differences between the cereals were observed in occlusal caries in rats.
