There's an article released today on the website LiveScience, which goes over some recent scientific evidence which proves pop is bad for your teeth. Holy crap! Call the president or something! Anyone whose ever drank a pop probably knows that the sweet carbonated tingle on their teeth isn't strengthening their enamel.According to the article, the latest research, published in Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) journal General Dentistry, reports that drinking any type of soft drink hurts teeth due to the citric acid and/or phosphoric acid in the beverages.
The study measured the acidity, or pH, of 20 commercial soft drinks, including Coke, Pepsi, 7 Up and their diet versions, immediately after cans were opened. Then slices of enamel from freshly extracted teeth were weighed before and after being immersed in the soft drinks for 48 hours. Many of the teeth were reported as losing up to 5 percent of their total weight.
