A lot of sports drinks sold does look more healthy than soft drinks. But recent research shows that sports drinks containing citric acid can damage the teeth.
This research was conducted by soaking the teeth for 90 minutes, as a simulation for those who like to drink sports drinks throughout the day. It turned out some tooth enamel is gone. This is because sports drinks are leaked to the bottom layer of enamel, causing the teeth become soft and weak. This condition is called dental erosion could easily result in damage and loss of teeth if not treated immediately.
