    One thing I think people are overlooking is that those drinks also have phosphoric acid (some I believe have other acids as well...citric???) in them....I don't know how much, but am sure that a large enough amount can't be that great for you either....especially your teeth, which I know is not what this topic is about....so just like anything, it's recommended in moderation \m/

    yes those acids mentioned can irritate the bladder of someone who has bladder issues to begin with, it's like pouring acid on an open would. no thanks. same for people with heart burn/gerd issues

    Carbonated drinks generally are bad for your teeth - even diet sodas AND fizzy water - because carbon dioxide is highly corrosive. This is why "carbon capture" programmes (which aim to remove and store carbon dioxide caused as part of heat/power generation) are flawed: the Co2 needs to be stored in something non-corrosive under water, but will in time release itself through corroding the storage material.

    There's my bit about the environment for the day!

    But can destroy your teeth, rarely have I drank anything but water my whole life and I have never had a cavity, or any other problems with my mouth. 25 years old. Knock on wood,
