'hese''foods include vegetables and
fruits, wholegrain breads and
cereals, milk anti milk products, and
protein foods ;such as meat, fish,
eggs, ;nuts and beans. If these foods
sound familiar, it's because they
make up Canada's Food Guide. By
choosing a variety of foods from the
four food groups every day, you can
make sure your teeth and gums get
all the nutrients they need.
