The #1 Worst Drink That Dissolves Your Teeth

[@WaningGibbous]

As a dentist, I can tell you that this explanation is fantastic. We discuss this situation with our patients almost daily. Even with good oral hygiene habits, people will still develop cavities due to an acidic environment. Sports drinks have been a terrible factor in the increase of tooth decay. Primarily, because of the sugar and acid combination described by Dr Berg. Great information. Thanks!

[@lowlyman4christ998]

As you are a dentist I have a question. I hear fluoride can be very dangerous. Indeed they even put it in the water. I've heard it can make a person more docile and easier to manipulate and control which of course wicked governments would love. I hear it as a byproduct of some kind of manufacturing. It's not very helpful even though the government or organization of the FDA says it is helpful. Are there any non fluoride alternatives to teeth cleaning when you go to a dentist? For that reason I do not go to the dentist anymore. I do brush my teeth at least twice a day and floss and my teeth look great and feel great. Just wondering. Peace be with you all

I’m a dentist, and I have to say that I agree with 95% of this video. You nailed it with the explanation of how sugars and acids dissolve teeth. I’m not familiar with the theory that high blood sugar dissolves teeth from the inside. In order for sugar to cause harm to teeth, bacteria need to be present and in a healthy tooth there ought not to be bacteria in the pulp. If bacteria reach the pulp via a cavity, I could see a higher blood sugar possibly making things worse, but at that point, the tooth needs to be removed or have root canal therapy. Anyway, this is an excellent video that I might consider showing to patients.

You can decrease the effect of acidic drinks by washing out your mouth with water afterwards.

When I was little, my southern relatives hardly ever drank water- only Coca-Cola, Pepsi, NuGrape, Red Rock, Mountain Dew and Sunkist orange- Yes, I know the name of every single soda. They pushed soda on me from the time I was a baby. I can remember not being finished with the first one before someone would say "Baby, that soda is hot. We'll get you another one." And then we'd all go to the corner store and get more soda. I was also given lots of juice (because it was "healthy") and we were always going to the corner store for bubble gum and candy. They didn't know any better. They were actually trying to show me love without realizing the damage. Most of them have now passed away from diseases stemming from diabetes, cancer and high blood pressure/heart problems. 😪I think that if they could see me now, they'd be so proud to see me doing the research and changing my diet and breaking the cycle. 🤗 It took me a long time to realize what I was doing to myself. Excess sugar and carb consumption was so normalized and I was raised thinking that "getting healthy" meant following the carb heavy food pyramid. Thankfully for me, I never liked soda very much even though it was pushed on me...but I did become addicted to carbs, especially sweets. Excessive Hubba Bubba, Bazooka Joe and Bubblelicious chewing cost me most my permanent molars. I have caps on them. But the rest of my teeth are perfect and I'm 51. Most of my relatives had full sets of dentures long before my age. I so appreciate Dr. Berg and Doctor. Berry (and others) for telling the truth and helping us learn! They are literally saving lives. I had tried every diet, including Keto, and failed. I had pre-diabetes, blurred vision, the beginnings diabetic neuropathy in my feet, and I was so insulin resistant, I couldn't lose weight even on keto. I learned about the Carnivore diet from Dr. Berry and it has been the only thing that has worked for me. It wasn't easy and I still am very overweight with over a hundred pounds to lose. I've only been on it 6 weeks and until only a few days ago, I was losing very little weight and felt like garbage, but I kept going because I researched and saw that others went through the same thing. I had a solid month or more of diarrhea, oxalate dumping, electrolyte issues/palpitations but I learned to supplement electrolytes, Magnesium and potassium, and digestive enzymes until I was adapted. Now, my clothes are slowly starting to fit looser. The tingling in my hands and feet is gone, my energy is returning (and I've always been very active for my size but was almost too fatigued to move when I started carnivore). 50 years spent on doctors who either didn't know any better or didn't gaf. 25 years spent struggling with an autoimmune disease that resulted in me losing my thyroid. 40 years spent overweight with no self esteem, bullied throughout childhood to the point I tried to take my own life at 12. And now, fir the first time in my life, I'm seeing real and positive health changes. So grateful 🙏🏽!

Drinking acidic or sweet things with a straw and keeping it towards the back of your mouth can really help. Also keep some water handy if you can, to occasionally swish or wash away some of the stuff. Another thing to consider is drinking liquid chlorophyll water, which adding it is supposed to make the water more alkaline therefore helping balance PH level in your mouth and body. Along with all this, consider researching phytic acid and how it can rob your body of essential nutrients that keep teeth and bones strong. Luckily it's not hard to counteract the effects of phytic acid through supplements, or eating more types of foods like broccoli or bellpeppers for example rich in vitamins. I believe it's vitamin C or D that is most important for counteracting the nutrient robbing effects of phytic acid

I’m amazed there aren’t more cases of this. I know plenty of ppl who drink more than 1 soda every day & their teeth seem fine. I’m guessing he also had a poor diet & did not take any measures to lessen the damage since it sounds like he gladly accepted the consequences. So many ppl will drink a coke in the morning instead of coffee. I would only drink a soda late at night & then oil pull & brush my teeth right after. Straws help too. I used to drink 1 daily but now I only drink 1 every Sunday.

[@michaelc2977]

No way that happened from 2-3 sodas, there had to have been other factors involved, probably just bad genes coupled with soda.

@@michaelc2977 He said he was drinking Sierra Mist for years. That has 62grams of sugar per bottle, almost double the amount of a Coke, which has 39grams of sugar. It adds up over the years.

Oh damn I gotta be careful! I drink thru a straw if that’s any better..

@@Sabrina11113 I think if you rinse your mouth with normal water afterwards should work. Back then I didn't know that, and straw should definitely help.

Ive drank pepsi and mt dew daily since i was 22 im 46 now ive had no cavities yet. However i have broke a tooth nawing on a pull tab from a can which led to a cavity and abscess tooth which i had pulled. No other issues though. I think it depends on genetics a bit too as far as tooth health.

[@thisiskarime3781]

Genetics has to play a role because I should have cavities right now with the way I don’t take care of my teeth but yet I don’t.

[@Emily-bp7ol]

Absolutely. My husbands family drinks soda and eats the standard American diet, low veggies, lots of orange juice, sweet treats/desserts a lot of the time, and pizza every week. Their dental health isn’t terrible and they are not fat at all. My family, who were/are athletes, struggle with weight and are on meat and veggie “diets”, low desserts, watching what they eat, no soda or juice. Thankfully our dental health is good. I’m trying to teach his family about good foods (for the sake of our children) and they don’t understand becuz it hasn’t been an issue for them. They don’t see the benefit becuz they don’t have major issues.

[@diandradeeke]

i am extremely shocked that juice is so unhealthy. i drank a lot of juice in my teens because i thought it would be healthy

[@MikeKayK]

You thought wrong. You thought your parents were all knowing gods and eventually realized they know nothing.

[@lexkek5625]

I mean all the vitamins in there are still good for ya. But yeah all that sugar in there without the moderation is bad for health and teeth.

My dad knocked my tooth out when I was 5....soda was the least of my problems

[@mannygonz8363]

I am glad we were poor in my childhood in the sense of healthy issues ( on the other side I regretted being poor ) Everytime we visited our relatives that lived in a big city They used to own a little grocery store and their fridge at home was pretty much filled with coca cola, Fanta and sprite They drink soda before breakfast, afternoon, evening and night ( 24/7 ) Why I can't afford that ( asked myself ) Now, I see my cousins with so many health issues like the ones most of the people describe on the comments... Any way, for whatever reason my siblings and myself we are NOT a sugary drinks fans.... No obesity or health problems at all....Those of you with health issues, keep it up fighting the good fight, use common sense And God bless you all.

[@susantengler-batey1107]

Would you comment on the acidity of perfect amino electrolytes?

[@Sunny-ld4nn]

As a fellow dentist I agree with with all the things Dr Berg is saying in this video. I also tell my patients that let's say drinking 2 liters of coke once is less bad than drinking 1 liter over the course of let's say 5 hours because of the constant exposure to acids and carbohydrates.

[@manoman0]

Or even better: Don't drink that toxic waste fluid in the first place. That's my take.

[@007MJFan]

I post a question about this above.... I always wondered about that ... My question is about lemon water. I love to drink it in the morning as it really helps my digestion, but is it better to drink more acidity in less time or less acidity in more time? For example, the juice from a 1/2 lemon straight, but only take 3seconds to do it OR drink a more diluted lemon water which takes you minutes to finish? I always rinse my mouth right after with tap water to wash away the acid, but have been wondering which one is better for my teeth. I have been doing the former one because it only takes a few seconds and the teeth barely come in to contact with the juice before they get rinsed, but am wondering which one is better?

[@manoman0]

@@007MJFan I think it's better to drink more acid in short time than otherwise, even with lower acidity, over a longer period of time it will deteriorate your teeth worse. That's my take but I could be wrong. However you do, you can use carbon powder or baking powder, rinse your mouth and cancel any acidity in your mouth.

[@007MJFan]

@@manoman0 , thanks for the response. That's what I thought too and have been doing. I think I stick with lowering the exposure duration and making sure I rinse well and neutralize the acid right after.

[@Sunny-ld4nn]

@@007MJFan I'd say drink your daily dose as much as you want and then rinse out your mouth really good, it's exposure that counts. Cavities start forming with the demineralization of enamel which happens at acidic pH levels., so naturally the less time the pH in your mouth is strongly acidic the better.

My ex-husband paid over $10,000 many years ago, due to the dentist telling him his Diet Coke addiction had utterly destroyed his teeth enamel. (He’s still drinking it.)

[@chrissyellem7397]

My friend of 30 years has been drinking Diet Coke this whole time. A few years ago when I was on a health kick I kept telling him to give it up. Does he listen-no. Still drinks it-late 50's and is in good health no problems at all.

[@vanesslifeygo]

I have had tiny acid burns. I can't imagine that in my mouth. I need to curb my coffee habit too. Say no to caffeine addiction,

[@standandeliver8376]

Very informative. I used to drink at least a litre of fruit juice every day, thinking it was healthy. It has definitely thinned the enamel significantly by the gums. Sorry to be "that guy", but three cups (the amount of saliva produced per day) is around 750ml, not one cup. It was clearly just a slip of the tongue though.

[@Smorccc]

If you are a person in your 20’s, your teeth are probably the most expensive things you own! Take care of them.

[@swnorcraft7971]

1 cup equals 8 oz. 1 oz. equals 29.573 ml. 8x29.573=236.584 750ml=25.36 oz. The acid, bacteria, sugar story is correct. Thanks for sharing.

[@skatetoexplorevideos2477]

I remember watching a news story about a teenage girl drinking a coke every night. She didn't brush her teeth afterwards. Her teeth rotted and some had to be taken out.

[@pete_k]

Great video, thanks! Just one minor correction: you said that one cup is 750 ml / 25 oz, but as your writing shows @10:00 _three_ cups is about 25 oz, one cup is 8 oz which is about 230 ml. And so 750 ml is a bit too much even for 3 cups, about 700 ml is closer.
