A Lollipop that Prevents Cavities?

Hard to believe, but technology has come this far. Or maybe it hasn’t…a UCLA researcher, Wenyuan Shi, created orange-flavored sugarless lollipops that stop tooth decay by temporarily disabling the bacteria that causes it.

A research study was conducted by the company that is making these lollipops to prove that they work. In the study people had two of these lollipops a day per ten days; the results were that the lollipops killed 80%-90% of the bacteria that causes cavities. However, this study was done by the people who actually make the lollipops and they never even published it. An independent study has yet to come out to finally prove the facts.
