Cola is Bad for You But So Are Sugar Free Soft Drinks

When you drink something which claims to have zero calories, are you feeling somewhat self righteous and smug for not drinking sugary cold drinks? Guess what, you may still be harming your body. Apparently even the so called sugar free drinks have chemicals that can cause measurable damage to your teeth enamel.

A group of researchers at the University of Melbourne tested 23 different types of soft drinks for the Oral Health Cooperative Research Center. The findings of the study indicated that drinks with a low pH level even when the acidic additives were minimal still managed to damage dental enamel. The fact that they were sugar free didn’t seem to matter that much.

Now you know that just about any kind of cola, soda, soft drink and even sport drinks are really not that great for your teeth. No matter what claims the manufacturer may make. If you want to keep hydrated, it would seem that there was nothing quite as healthy as good old water. Considering that our bodies are made up predominantly of fluids, water is amongst the healthiest drinks that you could treat yourself with.

While the gimmicks of advertising tease you to try out new soft drinks and promise all kinds of outrageous things for your social life, they are really not healthy for you. Science experiments conducted by researchers all over the world have repeatedly come up with the fact that anything synthetically manufactured in a cold drink factory, will never be as healthy as a simple glass of water.
