Surprised by what’s lurking in “healthy” snacks?

Dentist said sticky fruits can be as bad as candy for cavities, which honestly blew my mind.

I see this all the time—people think dried fruit’s a safe bet, but those sugars are super concentrated and stick around way longer than you’d expect. I’ve had to fish out bits of dried apricot from under someone’s crown more than once. Water flossers help, but yeah, they’re basically a shower for your shirt. I still snack on dried mango sometimes, just try to rinse or chew sugarless gum after. Not perfect, but it helps.
