Dude, Where's My Teeth?

[IMT staff]

Energy drinks and sports drinks might provide a quick boost for consumers, but at the cost of their teeth. A new study finds people who drink these types of beverages are "essentially bathing their teeth with acid," the authors said.

+1 for this article. Im amazed at the number of people who drink nothing but sugar all day. I like having my teeth!

It baffles me that the general consumer public doesn't know this already. I mean, really? You can TASTE the acid in almost all carbonated drinks. And people who drink lots of them should really know. I mean, almost everyone who drinks LOTS of soda, energy drinks, etc. will have some kind of heartburn/GERD issues. I guess it is like eating cheeseburgers. Those who say they don't know - don't want to know.

Theres a guy at my office who is type 2 diabetic...he KNOWS how bad his diabetes is, has a doctors note to wear tennis shoes because his feet hurt (yes, he is going through first few stages of neuropathy, and STILL doesnt care). HUGE belly, who drinks a 2 liter of Mountain Dew daily. This man is the epitome of irresponsibility in ones own heath.

fucking dumbass. If there is one example of what I don't want to become(EDIT: I WILL NOT BECOME) hes it.

ive read where bottled water is creating issues as well because it does not contain flouride which helps your teeth. But Yeah I cant imagine drinking these energy drinks every day. Your better off saving yourself some money and buying a bag of sugar and sitting it on your desk and eating a cup every morning.
