Does chocolate cause tooth decay?
No
Tooth decay is the corrosion of the hard part of the tooth, especially the enamel. Cocoa contains three types of substances that have a powerful anticariogenic action. Tannic acid is especially effective, and prevents the development of microbes. The fluoride present in cocoa also reinforces the resistance of the enamel.
