Sports and energy drinks such as Gatorade and Red Bull are popular with the health conscious. But dental researchers are warning that they can be extremely bad for your teeth, much worse than soft drinks, which are often described as cavity-causing.
Dr. Anthony von Fraunhofer, professor of biomaterials science at the University of Maryland Dental School in Baltimore, said the acids in sports drinks cause tooth enamel to break down, making it more likely that cavities will develop. "The enamel damage caused by non-cola and sports beverages was three to 11 times greater than cola-based drinks, with energy drinks and bottled lemonades causing the most harm to dental enamel," he said.
