Sports
Drinks & Tooth Damage
Drinking
Sports Drinks? Don't Smile! Many
of us have been told over the years that
soda based beverages will rot out our teeth.
Brace yourself, because sodas are
three to eleven times less risky in causing
damage to tooth enamel than popular sports
drinks, bottled lemonade and energy drinks.
Here's the scoop:
Recent
studies have indicated that drinking sports
drinks,
bottled lemonade and energy drinks
can cause irreversible
damage
to teeth. Beverages attack the protective
cover of the tooth - the enamel. The
result is potential tooth decay. In many
cases, the decay can be severe, and as mentioned
above, irreversible. In other words,
your pearly whites are damaged forever.
The
chief enamel invader in sports drinks,
bottled lemonades and energy drinks
is the organic acids and additives.
Colas and sodas didn't come off
scott-free in the studies, but are way down on the
totem pole when it comes to blowing
tooth enamel to smithereens.
Yet
one more great reason to drink milk! Make
sure it's skimmed!
