Study Notes
Diet in the UK
- A healthy diet is crucial for oral and general health
- UK populations consume too much sugar, saturated fat, and salt, and insufficient fruit, vegetables, fiber, and oily fish.
Defining Free Sugars
- "Free sugars" encompass sugars added to foods/drinks by manufacturers, cooks, or consumers as well as sugars found naturally in honey, syrups, smoothies, and fruit juices.
- Excluded are sugars naturally present in whole fresh fruit and vegetables and those naturally present in milk and milk products.
- Free sugars also comprise those naturally present in fruit and vegetable juices, concentrates, smoothies, purées, pastes, powders, and extruded fruit and vegetable products.
- All sugars in drinks, except lactose and galactose.
Free Sugars in the Diet
- Free sugars should be consumed in small amounts.
- The recommended maximum intake for individuals aged 2 years and over is 5% of total dietary energy.
- The specific threshold for free sugars varies by age, as detailed in Figure 10.1.
Sugar Consumption and Dental Caries
- Sugar intake and frequency significantly impact dental caries.
- The Stephan curve illustrates demineralization caused by sugar consumption due to acids generated by plaque bacteria and the subsequent drop in pH within the mouth, followed by saliva buffering the effect.
- Frequent sugar intake leads to continuous demineralization, hindering effective remineralization.
- Higher sugar intake linked to higher dental caries risk in children and adolescents, although less evidence exists in adults.
General Good Dietary Practice Guidelines
- Optimal dietary habits include appropriate portion sizes for caloric intake relative to activity levels and diverse food group consumption.
- The Eatwell Guide is a key government resource for dietary recommendations, outlining healthy proportions for each food group.
- A healthy diet involves consuming at least five portions of fruits and vegetables per day.
- The consumption of foods high in fat, salt, and sugar should be limited.
Dietary Advice for Vulnerable Groups
- Dietary advice should tailor to specific medical, physical, and mental health challenges and needs.
- Close collaboration with health and social care specialists is often important for optimal dietary guidelines.
- Fluoride is a crucial protective factor.
Feeding Patterns and Practices
- Dietary recommendations should reflect the understanding of sugar frequency and consumption.
- 'Grazing' may be a common dietary style in some instances; and the use of commercially packaged foods (e.g., pouches) are increasingly popular.
Important Considerations
- It is vital to balance advice with the lack of definitive research.
- The lack of strong, well-designed research, regarding dietary effects in dental settings, limits the strength of most recommendations.
- While there is significant emphasis on sugar reduction, there's little reliable evidence to derive specific dietary advice/interventions.
