The Effect of Carbohydrate-Free and Carbohydrate-Low Diets on the Incidence of Dental Caries in White Rats1

James H. Shaw

Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts

Two carbohydrate-free rations and a low carbohydrate ration were found under intensive tests to be incapable of producing tooth decay in a highly-caries susceptible strain of rats. Even in trials as long as one and two years after the rats were desalivated to increase the susceptibility to tooth decay, no carious lesions developed.
