That buzz you feel after downing an energy drink may be your teeth disintegrating!
A recent study from the University of Maryland concluded that energy drinks rot your teeth faster than regular colas. When researchers immersed sections of human dental enamel in 13 popular beverages, they noted that energy drinks, including Amp and Red Bull, were up to 11 times more erosive than cola. High levels of some additives, such as citric acid, cause the erosion.
Their advice, if you must have an energy drink, chase it with a glass of water to help rinse off the damaging acids.
