Well, in my opinion, I think anything can cause cavities, because everything has its own amount of plaque. So, in general, sugar can cause cavities, but so can other food if you do not brush and floss properly.

Truthfully it is not the sugar that causes cavities but the failure to remove plaque from the teeth in a timely manner. Bacteria that remains and tansforms into a harmful plaque metabolizes the sugar and the by-products(acids) of this bacterial digestion attack the teeth. Other food products can also be used by the bacteria to produce the harmful by-products that attack the teeth. The key is to fully remove plaque from the teeth by brushing and flossing.
