Learn More »Despite the constant negative press that soft drinks receive in the media, Americans are hard-pressed to stop consuming their favorite sugary beverages. Every restaurant offers at least five different soft drink options, and every cafeteria or business has at least one vending machine that offers up to ten or more different sodas, sometimes for less than a dollar. Even convenience stores in America have prominent soft drink fountains, some even offering cups that can hold nearly a liter of sweet syrupy soda at a single time. It also comes in convenient plastic bottles ranging in size, along with the classic pop cans that can be found at retailers almost everywhere. Needless to say, soft drinks are an American favorite, and they are available nearly everywhere. About 48% of people in the US drink soda daily, averaging about 2.6 glasses a day, adding up to a whopping 45 gallons of soda a year. Young adults are the leading consumers of soda, with 56% of the total numbers being from people aged 18-34 years old. These numbers, while they may be shocking, should not be that big of a surprise; after all, soda is responsible for the largest source of sugar in the American diet for children and adolescents.

Learn More »Teeth that come into contact regularly with soft drinks can lose up to 5% of their density and enamel weight over time. For perspective, battery acid rates at 1.0 on the pH scale, while Cola is not too far away at 2.387! Root Beer surprisingly has the least acidity of all other soft drink options. This is likely due to the fact that it doesn’t contain citric or phosphoric acids and is often non-carbonated. While juice and sports drinks also contain acidity, cola drinks reduce enamel hardness at a higher rate while also targeting the teeth’s dentin. While dark colas, including diet and fruit-flavored varieties, are at the top of the acidity chart and contain harmful phosphoric acid, non-cola soft drinks still cause two to five times the amount of damage. Iced tea soft drinks damage tooth enamel 30 times more than brewed tea or coffee. When it comes to soft drinks, there really isn’t a lesser evil. It helps to swish water through the mouth while consuming these beverages to help reduce lasting damage, but ideally, they should not be a regular addition to daily meals. People may believe that non-cola soft drinks are less detrimental to teeth due to their lack of coloring, potentially avoiding staining. Still, they are equally as harmful to enamel, sometimes even more so when consumed in higher quantities. Overall, avoiding soft drinks and giving them to children only as a treat can be difficult, especially when they are so readily available. An important factor in discouraging heavy soda consumption among children is to educate them on the unhealthy aspects of these beverages while also encouraging healthier options such as water or milk, or any drink that doesn’t contain such high amounts of sugar and acidity.
