The amount of radioactive bovine enamel dissolved by the streptococcal fermentation products of 29 breakfast cereals was not dependent on their sugar content. Enamel dissolution was reduced by addition of a variety of inorganic and organic substances, of which those containing calcium were particularly effective.
