Or he brushed his teeth but continued to consume copious amounts of mountain dew and coke. Doesn't matter how much you brush, tons of soft drinks will still destroy your enamel.

You can also over brush and ruin your enamel. Checkmate atheists!

Counterpoint, I drink over 2 l of soda a day almost every single day, I have not had a cavity in the last 7 years, and my enamel is amazing.

I said all of that to say there is a genetic factor to consider, and if you are having enamel issues because of sodas then you would have likely also had them because of tomatoes and other citrusy zesty and acidic foods.

You can't just blame the soda, although I will admit that I'm sure my teeth health would be better if I did not drink so much soda.

Brother, you gotta cool it with the sodies...

[–] bizarroland@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Why? Is there something to be concerned about?

Sugar is bad for your body!

[–] bizarroland@fedia.io 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

No sugar in diet soda my dude.

All that carbonation will eventually erode your esophagus

Strong hand. Shouldn't have played it yet. Bluff with real sugar mtn dew. It's real sugar, not high fructose pp cancer. Could've gotten a few all-ins.

The whole situation!

That's a fucking shit load of calories and stuff that just isn't good for you, just the fact that it's acidic will lead to gastric issues in the long run.

I drink diet soda. That way I don't have to worry about the calories.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

One data point does not a theory make. Genetics for sure improves the acid resistance of teeth but it is more of a "delaying damage" rather than actual imperviousness.

Or humans only need to live to 30 or 40, maybe less to reproduce and raise new humans. So we haven't evolved teeth that lasted longer than that.
