Researchers from the University of Melbourne Oral Health Cooperative Research Center have concluded a study on sugar-free food and drinks, only to find that these things will cause major tooth decay.

Contrary to popular belief, of the 23 different types of beverages tested, including soda and sports drinks, the researchers discovered that they all contain acidic additives which can severely damage tooth enamel in consumers who have a low pH level.

And this includes sugar-free drinks.

Of the 32 sugar-free drinks sold on the market, 22 had a pH level below 4.5, which is less than health levels needed to ensure the integrity of tooth enamel and prevent tooth demineralization.

And because this is a dehydration process, the researchers recommend consumers include healthy doses of water to replenish their bodies.

The team analyzed dental enamel softening, tooth surface loss and the impact of dental erosion when exposed to acidic chemicals found in sugar-free beverages.

In the end, most of the products tested “caused softening of dental enamel by 30 to 50%.”

The researchers wrote: “Both sugar-containing and sugar-free soft drinks (including flavored mineral waters) produced measurable loss of the tooth surface, with no significant difference between the two groups of drinks.”

Eric Reynolds, a laureate professor with the University of Melbourne Dental School and lead author of the study, commented: “We have even found sugar-free confectionery products that are labelled ‘tooth-friendly’ and which when tested were found to be erosive. Many people are not aware that reducing your sugar intake doesn’t reduce your risk of dental decay. The chemical mix of acids in some foods and drinks can cause the equally damaging condition of dental erosion. The cocktail of chemicals and acids in sugar-free food and drinks can have the same impact — eroding the teeth.”

Two years ago, researchers from the Philadelphia Temple University concluded that diet soda can destroy a person’s teeth to the extent that they resemble someone who has chronically abused crack cocaine or methamphetamines.

The study explained how the The citric acid in soda eats away at tooth enamel, exposing nerves inside the teeth. The same components in illegal drugs are found in diet soda; which explains why the destruction to the teeth are identical.

Whether the soda is sweetened or not, the citric and phosphoric acids in diet soda mimic the effects of meth or crack cocaine.

The manifestation of the damage caused by acids in soda include tooth sensitivity, cracking in the enamel, and discoloration.
