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.

[...] Other drinks such as Snapple, Gatorade, Red Bull, Propel Fitness Water, and Arizona Original Iced Tea are as bad for you as Coke, or worse! [...]
Wow amazing, a friend of mine drinks Red Bull like its going out of fashion. I’ve always said its rubbish and it will kill him and this just proves it.
Of course they are all crap, you should drink water. No need for this kind of drinks. They don’t hydrate you properly.
Thanks for this post and the other 1 on coke and sugar :)
