So if tooth demineralization starts with a pH level less than 5.5 and diet soda is around 3.5 (actually, that depends on the specific diet soda and many are lower), then OMG, we are all going to lose our teeth.
Except there are a lot of other "healthy" beverages that are in the same category (pH lower than 5.5). Lime juice is far lower than diet soda, as is lemonade, apple juice, and cranberry juice. Let's not forget Lipton Brisk, Nestea, V8, Propel, Snapple Tea for some specific brands.
In fact, acidophilus milk and buttermilk have a pH less than 5.5.
I think I'll take my chances...0 -

My dentist thinks I have great teeth, and I went three years+ drinking soda only.0 -
OP I love Diet Coke, you'll have to pry it out of my cold dead hands before I give it up.
I've been drinking it for 20+ years. I drank it when I was gaining weight, I drank it when I was losing weight. As a zero calorie beverage, it has no bearing on weight loss.

I drank diet soda for nearly 20 years (and a lot of it each day for that time) and never took very good care of my teeth. My first cavity wasn't until 19 years after drinking diet soda. It's not scientific, but my experience says it doesn't matter.
And I'm the opposite, acidic foods and beverages wreak havoc on my teeth. I suspect that individual experiences are going to vary based on genetics.0 -
