Pancake Day is a time to enjoy one of the most versatile foods on the planet and also to get creative with toppings. Whether you prefer the classic lemon and sugar pancake or you love something a little more savoury, there is something for everyone where pancakes are concerned.
Before you add lemon and caster sugar to your shopping list, did you know that some toppings can be harmful to your teeth? Research by ExpressDentist.com has revealed a list of toppings that are the best and worst for your teeth.
The research entailed gathering a list of the most popular pancake toppings and analysing the sugar content per 100 grams of each, in order to find out which topping is most likely to cause a trip to the dentist. The NHS advises a daily sugar limit of 30g, yet fruit jam contains a whopping 69g of sugar per 100g of topping, that is nearly 130% over the advised daily sugar intake.
