Summary

This study looks at how different sweeteners in drinks change the acidity in the mouth and the bacteria in dental plaque. About 52 Mexican teenagers who regularly drink soda will try plain water, water with stevia, and water with sugar. Researchers will measure changes in saliva and plaque pH and the types of bacteria present.
