The Straw Effect
Citrus drinks and carbonated beveragesoincluding diet sodasocan wear away the protective enamel on teeth because of ?the citric and phosphoric acids they contain. But a precisely placed straw may help prevent this erosion. A report in General Dentistry describes two frequent soda drinkers. One, a man who drank from cans and cups, exhibited damage to the enamel of his back teeth and one side of his mouth that he favored. A girl who sipped through ?a straw just inside her lips developed erosion in her front teeth. Placing a straw near ?the back of the mouth should limit the acidsi contact with the teeth, Mohamed A. Bassiouny of the Temple School of Dentistry in Philadelphia and his colleagues ?surmise. Whenever possible, people should rinse their mouth with water after having ?a soft drink, but not brush immediately, ?as this can [further] damage the acid-weakened enamel,I Bassiouny says.
135%
more soft drinks were consumed by Americans in 2004 than in 1977.
67%
of Caucasian women polled say theyive had one or ?more painful sunburns.
