It may come to a surprise to you that drinking sport drinks like Gatorade is not better than drinking soda. Here is basically why: Gatorade amongst other sport drinks have acidic content which are bad for your enamel by eroding your dentin and can damage your teeth. According to New York University College of Dentistry, the sport drinks (soft drinks) have high acid content which has a weakening effect on your teeth enamel thus allowing bacteria to get into the cracks and crevices in the teeth. What’s worse is that if you brush your teeth after having a sports drink, you are risking abrasion against already softened enamel, thus irritating the teeth even more. Avoid Soft Drinks/Sodas and be healthy!
