Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Consuming higher risk foods (cariogenic) with lower risk foods (cariostatic) can indeed reduce the cariogenic effect because the cariostatic foods can help neutralize the acids produced by cariogenic foods, thus reducing the risk of tooth decay. Apple slices (cariogenic due to their sugar content) combined with peanut butter (cariostatic due to its fat content and ability to stick to the teeth, providing a protective layer) is an example of such a combination.
