I can't even start on how wrong the above statement is in every way.
Here is an article on how diet might affect gum disease. Its affects are thought to be the same as in many diseases , a poor diet low in nutrients affects the bodies capabilities to fight disease. http://www.bsdht.org.uk/res/DH%20May%20p18-21.pdf
Smoking, diabetes , are primary risk factors for gum diseas. Sugar intake isn't. The bacteria involved in gum disease are completely different to those involved in decay.
Ps decay is easily caused by fruit , fruit juices and dried fruit.0 -

I think you need to research causes of type one and type two diabetes .0
