- - - - Mental institution Sweden 1945-1953
      - Effects of sugary foods on caries frequency
      - Sugar had little effect if ingested w/ meals no more than 4 times per day
      - Increased frequency between meals markedly increased dental caries incidence
      - Progression of dental caries halted on withdrawal of sugar from diet
    - - Controlled, dietary intervention, Finnish adults 2-year period
      - Almost total substitution of sucrose w/ xylitol resulted in 85% reduction in dental caries
- - - - Control mean dmfs score 0.0 +- 0.2 (SD)
      - ETS group mean dmfs score 6.1 +- 15.5 (SD)
      - ETSB group mean dmfs score 8.0 +- 17.8 (SD)
      - ETS and ETSB had slightly lower mean salivary flow rates and significantly higher mean sIgA concentration
  - - - Found chewing tobacco to be a risk factor in development of root-surface caries and coronal caries possibly due to high sugar content, increased gingival recession and enhanced collagenase
