Energy Drinks and Sports Drinks Rotting Teens’ Teeth

Lots of kids think that sports drinks and energy drinks have health benefits that make them better to consume than soda. Not so, especially for your teeth, according to a new report published in the most recent issue of General Dentistry. "Patients are shocked to learn that these drinks are essentially bathing their teeth with acid," says Poonam Jain, BDS, MS, MPH, lead author of the study, in a press release. They also found that energy drinks including popular brands such as Red Bull and Rockstar, cause twice as much damage to the teeth as sports drinks.
