In the
last decade, sports beverages have become increasingly popular, but they aren't
great for your teeth.
"Scientific
research has found that the pH levels in many sports drinks could lead to tooth
erosion due to their high concentration of acidic components, which could wear
away at the tooth's enamel," says David F. Halpern, DMD, FAGD, president
of the Academy of General Dentistry.
Additionally,
these drinks are often high in sugars that act as "food" for
acid-producing bacteria, which then sneak into the cracks and crevices in your
teeth, causing cavities and tooth decay.
