Microbiology: by proper selection of nutrient media you can determine
the type of bacteria that will prevail in a dish (or mouth). Few types
of bacteria are able to survive in the acidic environment they create by
fermentation of sugar. Thus sugar leads to selective growth of the
aciduric germs that over time damage the teeth.
