According to a research study conducted recently by the Academy of General Dentistry, thirst-quenching sports & energy drinks and store-bought lemonades are as much as ten times more damaging to your tooth enamel as sodas like Coca Cola. KMX & Red Bull energy drinks and Snapple lemonades were among the worst offenders, so keep this in mind as you’re drinking lots of fluids to beat this August heat.
The best choices for your enamel? Quench your thirst with iced teas and, of course, lots of water and non-carbonated, unsweetened beverages. Stay cool, hydrated and healthy!
