Does Coke rot teeth?

In: Dental Health [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

Yes.
Coke is very acidic and contains a heck of a lot of sugar (approximately seven teaspoons per can). This is very bad for your teeth. Try to brush them pretty soon after.

COKE CONTAINS CITRIC ACID. TO TEST COKES ABILITY TO CLTTTTEAN PUT A HEAVILY STAINED COPPER COIN INTO COKE. SHOULD A CHILDS TOOTH FALL OUT IF PLACED IN COKE THE TOOTH OVER A FEW DAYS STAINS ALMOST AS BAD AS COKE. COKE IS ADDICTIVE A DRUG CAFFINE IS ADDED. THERES ALOT OF SUGAR IN COKE SO THIS AND CITRIC ACID ROT TEETH

Citric Acid is lower on the concern level for Colas. It falls sometimes around 10 on the ingredients list.
Phosphoric acid is the main culprit in the erosion of teeth. Falling at 3-4 on the ingredient list, and being the more acidic of both substances.
