 LIQUORICE Allsorts may be better at fighting tooth decay than toothpaste, scientists said yesterday. Chemicals found in liquorice root — used to make the sweets — destroy bacteria that cause tooth cavities. Experts say the discovery could revolutionise the toothpaste industry. Dr Qing-Yi Lu, of the University of California, said liquorice used in the Bertie Bassett sweets appeared to be “at least as powerful at fighting cavities as some dental products”. It could become “a potent ingredient in mouthwash and toothpaste,” he added. But dentist Alex Turner, of Portsmouth, said Allsorts are full of sugar and should not be used as a substitute for fluoride toothpaste. # BRITS guzzle more than FIVE-BILLION litres of artificially sweetened drinks every year, a survey revealed yesterday.
