With all the bad news about Coke making people fat and generally being bad for you, finally some good news!
Researchers at the University of Maryland did a little test by dropping teeth into 12 different beverages for 2 weeks to see what happens to enamel over roughly the period of a decade in your mouth.
Surprisingly, Coke was the least harmful of all the drinks tested!
Now, none of this crap is as good for you as simply drinking water, but check out the list to determine what is eating away at your teeth the fastest.
| Drink | Enamel Erosion (mg / sq cm) |
|---|---|
| Coca Cola | 3 |
| Black Tea | 5 |
| Arizona Origina Iced Tea | 9 |
| Nestea Sweetened Lemon | 10 |
| Fanta Orange | 12 |
| Lemon Propel Fitness Water | 12 |
| Nantucket Nectars Half and Half | 13 |
| AMP Energy | 14 |
| Artic Shatter Powerade | 17 |
| Lemon Lime Gatorade | 20 |
| Red Bull | 21 |
