For Patty Corn, the news from her dentist came as a shock.
“I was devastated,” says the 49-year-old mother of five from Allendale, N.J. “I had three huge cavities and I haven’t had a cavity since I was a kid.”
Her dentist, equally surprised by her patient’s checkup, started running down a list of potential culprits — soda, sports drinks, sweetened tea — all of which Corn says she assiduously avoids. Then the dentist mentioned something the busy mom, entrepreneur and tennis player consumes on a daily basis: nutrition bars.
