Bread is as likely as candy to cause cavities.

Explanation:

The above statement is true because starchy, refined carbohydrate foods such as bread, chips, crackers or pasta can be as harmful to the teeth as candy. Starches that are made from white flour are plain carbohydrates and can remain in your mouth after which it then breaks itself down into simple sugars. Mouth bacteria feed on these sugar particles thereby producing acids, which causes tooth decay.

Bread is as likely as candy to cause cavities.

Explanation:

Bread is a refined carbohydrate   made from mostly white flours. White flours are simple sugars.Thus after consumption, without  teeth brush, they are deposited in teeth crevices.Where they are  broken down, by salivary enzyme amylase to simple sugars.

The sugar deposit is  fed on by  oral bacteria in the mouth and teeth, and their toxic acidic wastes  deposits on the tooth enamel causing cavities.

Thus bread has the same cavity causing effect as candy, although  candy effect is direct and faster than that of bread.
