Soda and tooth decay: no connection?
by: Christine Zafra
If you love sodas and can’t live without them when eating your favorite steak, you better thank Virginia Tech for clarifying the connection of soft drinks with tooth decay. There is none, said the pioneers of the research.
But before you jump around and buy a crate of soda for you personal consumption (really, where do you put those?), here is the catch: that study is only effective for the children, the teenagers and the adolescents. People 25 and up? You better contain your soda intake. Also, your teeth are much brittle than before, so a little carbonated water can wash up the enamel, slowly but surely.
