Do you love chocolate, but at the same time worry about the condition of your teeth? Now this is not a problem. Belgian chocolatiers have solved such a pressing issue by releasing a special delicacy that is completely harmless to the teeth.

The first chocolate in the world that does not harm the tooth enamel was presented by the Belgian chocolatiers Daskalid's and Smet. Toothfriendly International has already awarded the new generation of chocolate products the Happy Tooth label.

In the manufacture of tooth-friendly chocolate products, the Belgians used isomaltulose instead of regular sugar, which is a type of sugar "very close to the traditional crystal".

"Isomaltulose is made up of glucose and fructose and tastes almost the same as regular sugar, but it cannot be destroyed by bacteria in the mouth, so it does not release acid that can destroy tooth enamel," the confectioners said.

In addition, the Belgians have replaced the powdered milk used in the production of chocolate with milk proteins, RIA Novosti notes.

Belgium is known not only for the high quality of its chocolate products, but also for its innovative achievements in this field. In particular, praline chocolates (with fillings) were made here for the first time in the world.

However, the myth about the dangers of chocolate for teeth has long been dispelled. Unlike other sweet treats, chocolate is the least dangerous: cocoa prevents the destruction of tooth enamel. The cocoa butter contained in chocolate envelops the teeth with a protective film and protects them from decay. Particularly strong are the antibacterial properties of the shell of cocoa beans, which are removed during the preparation of chocolate. Japanese researchers believe that the extract made from the shells of cocoa beans should be added to toothpaste and mouthwash. Of course, chocolate is not a substitute for brushing your teeth, but dentists believe that chocolate candies are less harmful than, say, caramel.
