Diet sodas and sports drinks can do about as much damage to teeth as those that contain real sugar. A recent study found sugar-free drinks can soften dental enamel by 30 to 50 percent.
Scientists at the University of Melbourne tested 23 different types of drinks, including soft drinks and sports drinks, and found drinks that contain acidic additives and with low pH levels cause measurable damage to dental enamel, even if the drink is sugar-free.
