Comparison of Tooth No. 14 (exposure to Diet Mountain Dew with saliva) to Control (left)
Comparison of Tooth No. 13 (exposure to Diet Mountain Dew without saliva) to Control (left)
Drinks comparison
Out of the four liquids used in this experiment, Coca-Cola was the most acidic with a pH of 2 and had the worst effect on the teeth, causing significant pitting and erosion. It was followed by Gatorade with a pH of 3, and Mountain Dew and Sprite with a pH of 4. These drinks showed less decalcification and pitting, respectively.
Conclusion
After performing two trials of this experiment, one can draw the conclusion that saliva does in fact have a protective effect on teeth. When exposed to highly acidic drinks such as Coca-Cola, the saliva was able to prevent a great amount of pitting and decalcification from occurring. The importance of salivary protection in preventing tooth decay cannot be overemphasized. From a clinical standpoint this is a very critical observation, for when saliva production is reduced due to xerostomia (dry mouth) or even daily variations of salivary flow, teeth are left unprotected and can start decaying at a much faster rate than if saliva were present.1,9,10 The advice clinicians can give to patients, especially teenagers, is to completely avoid acidic drinks, especially at night-time when there is a drastic reduction in the salivary flow. This also applies to medication-induced xerostomia, in an already aging population where the rate of caries is rapidly increasing. When there is a great amount of tooth decay as a result of little saliva, patients experience pain and suffering, inability to chew properly, and an increase in health costs. The best advice to give to patients is to refrain from consuming ACBs on a regular basis because they can cause great harm and damage to their dentition.

well that Soda is bad for you,that it depletes the Calcium in your bones and it contains high fructose corn syrup, which is the number one cause of heart disease...and another fact, that soda causes cavities and destroys the enamel from your teeth, because of its high sugar content..and lowers sperm count too! so yeah,there is nothing good in soda
people are addicted to it and truely need to stop drinking it like water...its bad news

8 ways soda fizzles your health
We would wager money that many of you are “doing the dew” or “doing what tastes right” this very moment. Before you take another gulp from your soft drink can, here are 8 facts about soda to consider that may drastically affect the quality of your health.
pH of Soda = pH of Vinegar
For one, soda, no matter who makes it, is the most acidic beverage you can buy, with a pH of about 2.5, about the same as vinegar. Why does that matter? Acid oxidizes whatever it comes in contact with. If you put soda or vinegar on metal, it will rust it quickly. Check out this table of acid levels of your favorite sodas.
Drink Soda, Leach Calcium
If you drink soda, which also contains high levels of phosphorous, you will leach calcium from your bones. Dr. Michael Murray from the Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine concluded, “It appears that increased soft drink consumption is a major factor that contributes to osteoporosis.” Furthermore, Dr. Elson Haas, author of The Detox Diet states, “Tooth loss, periodontal disease, and gingivitis can be problems, especially with a high phosphorus intake, particularly from soft drinks.”
Soda Will Dissolve your Tooth Enamel
Weak bones is just the beginning. According to Dr. James Howenstein. author of A Physician’s Guide to Natural Health Products That Work, the high sugar content of soda is awful. He states, “”In an interesting experiment the sugar from one soft drink was able to damage the white blood cells’ ability to ingest and kill bacteria for seven hours.” Dr. Marion Nestle from his book Food Politics states, “Sugar and acid in soft drinks so easily dissolve tooth enamel.”
Each Additional Soda Increases Risk for Obesity by 1.6 times
So now we’ve got weak bones, weakened immune system, and dissolving teeth. What’s next? Weight gain! Dr. Nestle also concluded, “The relationship between soft drink consumption and body weight is so strong that researchers calculate that for each additional soda consumed, the risk of obesity increases 1.6 times.”
Children Who Drink Soda Break Bones More Easily
Our children aren’t safe, either. Dr. Nestle states, “Adolescents who consume soft drinks display a risk of bone fractures three to four-fold higher than those who do not.” Dr. William Duffy from the Naval Research Institute states, “The high sugar hides the acid. Children little realize they are drinking this strange mixture of phosphoric acid, sugar, caffeine, coloring, and flavoring matter.” Greg Critser from his book Fat Land: How Americans Became the Fattest People in the World states: “A joint study by Harvard University and Boston Children’s Hospital researchers in February 2001 concluded that such excess liquid calories inhibited the ability of older children to compensate at mealtime, leading to caloric imbalance and, in time, obesity.”
Diet Soda Isn’t Any Better
For those of you with a diet soda in your hands, the news isn’t any better, in fact it’s worse! Carol Simontacchi from her book The Crazy Makers: How the Food Industry Is Destroying Our Brains and Harming Our Children states, “One liter of an aspartame-sweetened beverage can produce about fifty-six milligrams of methanol. When several of these beverages are consumed in a short period of time (one day, perhaps), as much as two hundred fifty milligrams of methanol are dumped into the bloodstream, or thirty-two times the EPA limit.” So, you’re poisoning your body, too.
And when it comes to saccharin, which is a noncaloric petroleum derivative estimated to be three hundred to five hundred times sweeter than sugar: “More than a dozen animal tests over the last thirty years have demonstrated the carcinogenic effects of saccharin in the bladder and other sites, particularly female reproductive organs, and in some instances at doses as low as the equivalent of one to two bottles of diet pop daily.”
With diet soda, you’ve gone from high calories to poisonous levels of methanal and an increased chance of developing cancer. Not a very good trade.
Could Caffeine Jeopardize the Human Race?
Then there’s the caffeine. Jean Carper from her book Food: Your Miracle Medicine : How Food Can Prevent and Cure over 100 Symptoms and Problems states, “tests at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine by Roland R. Griffiths, MD, show caffeine withdrawal can strike people who drink a single cup of strongly brewed coffee or drink caffeinated soft drinks everyday. Further, Dr. Griffiths discovered that caffeine-withdrawal symptoms include not only headache, but also fatigue, mild depression, muscle pain and stiffness, flu-like feelings, nausea and vomiting. And for women: “Those consuming at least one cup of a caffeine-containing beverage per day, such as coffee, tea or soft drinks, were more prone to PMS. And the more caffeine they consumed, the more severe their PMS symptoms.”
Caffeine causes withdrawal with symptoms mimicking a flu and for women it makes PMS even worse. But could caffeine really jeopardize the future of the human race? Yes! “A study on the relationship between caffeine and fertility found that… just one caffeinated soft drink per day was associated with a reduced monthly chance of conception of 50 percent.”
If All That Wasn’t Enough Watch Out for a Asthma and a Rash
And finally there’s the preservative used in soda. Dr. Marcia Zimmerman, author of The A.D.D. Nutrition Solution : A Drug-Free 30 Day Plan states, “Sodium benzoate Sodium benzoate is used as a preservative (microbial control) in foods, including soft drinks, fruit juices, margarine, confections, pickles, and jams. Sodium preservatives add sodium to the diet and reduce the availability of potassium. Some reported reactions to sodium benzoate include recurring urticaria (rash), asthma, and eczema.”
Still Drinking that Soda…..?
Hard to believe that so much mayhem can come from a little can or bottle, but there is absolutely nothing good or redeemable about soda. The sooner you can remove it from your diet, the better. If the FDA were doing its job, it wouldn’t be allowed on the market. If you care about your health and the quality of your life, put the Mountain Dew down!

dont believe in that....you can think all you want about your bones....Soda depletes calcium and weakens bones....might not happen overnight...but in time,thats what happens...if you ever break a bone...it will take much longer to heal or wont heal at all..Calcium keeps bones strong and heals them when broken.Soda is silent killer,but we are so conditioned and love the taste...the majority doesnt care even though its killing their health...thats what it truely boils down to...CARING and caring about yourself's body

Well, that is true, IF that's the only thing you drink. You would have some serious kidney stones if Mt. Dew or Coke was your only liquid consumption. If you drink 1, or even 2, 16 oz cans a day and the recommended 64 oz of water and some milk, or any other calcium containing foods/supplements, you'll be just fine.

nice, Kuzeh.
did you notice that Whiplash has no holes in his feet to attach him to a stand?
i just wanted to say i was opening up my 3rd can or soda a little while ago and i felt something in my finger snap when i popped the top. i think i broke my finger cuz my bones are too brittle.
