That buzz you feel after drowning an ENERGY DRINK? It might be the sensation of your teeth disintergrating.
A recent study from the UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND DENTAL SCHOOL shows that ENERGY DRINKS can rot your teeth faster than COLAS can.
When researchers immersed sections of human dental enamel in 13 popular beverages, they noted that the ENERGY DRINKS, including AMP and RED BULL, were up to 12 times more erosive than COLA.
High levels of some additives, such as CITRIC ACID, cause the erosion, says study author J. ANTHONY VON FRAUNHOFER, PH.D.
His advice -- Chase your energy drink with a gulp of water to help rinse off the damaging acids.
