Eighteen different infants' drinks from five manufacturers were examined for their carbohydrate, calcium, phosphorus and acid contents, and their attack on tooth mineral. Seven of the drinks were compared with nine varieties of adults' soft drinks, and demineralization was studied with and without the presence of a cariogenic oral streptococcus. The influence of the acids already in the drinks in dissolving Ca and P outstripped that of any acid generated in these studies in vitro by microbial fermentation of the sugars they contained, giving an indication of their relative erosiveness rather than their cariogenic action. Various other features of the drinks relevant to dental health were identified. Titratable acid was a better guide than pH to their dental properties. Although there were considerable differences between the various infants' drinks taken as a group, their acidity levels and demineralizing powers were generally lower than those of the adults' drinks.

Abstract Objectives This study tested whether adolescent students who experienced hunger in 95 countries consumed less healthy diets. Methods Data were self-reported by adolescent students aged 11–18 years old from the Global School-Based Student Health Survey (2003–2016) in 95 countries. Hunger was affirmed if going hungry due to lack of food in home sometimes, most of the time, or always during the past 30 days. Dietary outcomes were measured by frequencies of having fruits, vegetables, and soft drinks per day, and eating from fast-food restaurants per week. The first two outcomes (i.e., fruits and vegetables) were measured in all 95 country surveys from 2003–2016 (n = 333,062); the latter two (i.e., soft drink and fast foods) were measured in 71 country surveys from 2009–2016 (n = 262,241). Each dietary outcome was analyzed separately using linear mixed-model regression with age and sex as fixed effects and the variation among countries (intercept and slope), among schools, and among classrooms as random effects. Results Adolescent students who experienced hunger had less frequent intake of fruits and vegetables and more frequent intake of soft drinks daily (β = −0.0715, −0.0348, and 0.0526, respectively), but hunger was not associated with eating from fast-food restaurants. The differences associated with hunger in frequency of intake of fruits, vegetables, and soft drinks in adolescent students varied across countries, with standard deviations of the differences of 0.126, 0.0844, and 0.115, respectively, across countries. That is, for example, the difference in fruit intake associated with hunger ranged across countries, using ± 2 standard deviations, from −0.324 to 0.181 times per day. The analogous ranges for vegetables and soft drinks were −0.204, 0.134 and −0.177, 0.283. Conclusions Adolescent students who experienced hunger were less likely to consume healthy diets globally; the magnitude of the association varied across countries. Funding Sources None.
