Note on The sugar diaries (BDJ 2014; 216: 272). It has been pointed out there is no evidence that the natural sugars present in a reasonable amount of fresh fruit and vegetables in the diet is detrimental to dental health, therefore fresh fruit and vegetables should not have been included in the sugar diaries featured.
