ESL sample essay: Honey and cane sugar

The chart shows the PH level in mouth and the moment it lasts after eating sugar or honey.

Just 5 minutes after eating cane sugar, the PH level in mouth goes down quickly to about 3.5. And it maintains the acid level of which tooth decay occurs for over 30 minutes.

The fruit sugar can make the PH level in mouth decreasing to 4.2. Comparing to cane sugar, that dangerous PH level only lasts for 20 minutes.

When people eat honey, the PH level in mouth only deduces to 4.8. And the moment of which tooth decay likely to happen, which is 12 minutes, is far shorter than that of cane sugar and fruit sugar.

To sum up, honey is more suitable for conservation of people’s teeth, and cane sugar seems to be the destroyer to the health of teeth.
