Consuming Soft drink often can lead to tooth wear and obesity

Researchers have found that sugar-sweetened acidic drinks, such as soft drinks, is the common factor between obesity and tooth wear among adults.

"It is the acidic nature of some drinks such as carbonated drinks and acidic fruit juices that leads to tooth wear," said the study's lead author.

The study, found that being overweight or obese was undoubtedly associated with having tooth wear.

Significantly, they also found that the increased consumption of sugary soft drinks may be a leading cause of the erosion of tooth enamel and dentine in obese patients.

Previous research from King's has found that tooth wear affects up to 30 per cent of European adults.
It is the premature wearing of teeth due to the softening of the dental enamel from dietary or gastric acids, combined with wear and tear.

Drawing on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003-2004, the researchers analysed a representative sample of survey participants of 3,541 patients in the United States.

Patient BMI and the level of tooth wear were the exposure and outcome measurements in the analysis.

The intake of sugar-sweetened acidic drinks was recorded through two non-consecutive 24-hour recall interviews where the patients were asked to provide details of diet intake across these two days.

According to the study, tooth wear is ranked as the third most important dental condition, after cavities and gum disease and the consumption of acidic food and drink is a leading cause of this.

Obese patients also have other risk factors such as increased likelihood of gastric reflux disease (heartburn) which was controlled for in this study.

"This is an important message for obese patients who are consuming calories through acidic sugar sweetened drinks. These drinks may be doing damage to their body and their teeth," the author said.

SOME COMMON HEALTH MISTAKES WE ALL MAKE

1) Taking the same pill for hangover as headaches-
Painkillers should not be taken when you still have alcohol in your system, as it is harmful for the kidneys.
Solution- drink a lot of water, for it to pass off naturally.

2) Carrying a shiny yellow bag made of  artificial leather-
Lead contents in higher in items made of "pleather", especially if they're made of bright colours- yellow, orange, red etc.
If this lead ends up in the body, it can potentially cause heart diseases, cancer, developmental problems ( in children) in the future.
Solution- avoid colourful fake leather purses, wallets and bags. Opt for nylon, hemp, canvas or leahter instead.

3) Brushing your teeth right after breakfast-
by doing this you'll be pushing the acid from your morning juice or coffee into your enamel, causing erosion.
Solution- wait for at least 30 minutes, after drinking an acidic beverage before brushing.

4) Kissing a smoker-
Smokers are more susceptible to contracting infections and diseases than non-smokers and they can pass on the infections to you while kissing them.
Solution- avoid kissing them, especially if your immune system is weak, or encourage them to give up smoking totally.

5) Storing potatoes in the fridge-
after being roasted, fried or bakes, potatoes form carcinogens, which multiply when kept in cold temperatures.
Solution- try boiling, steaming or microwaving the potatoes instead, and store then in a cool, dark place, rather than in the fridge.

6) Airing the laundry inside-
doing this will create an attractive humid environment for dust mites and mold spores. These may cause allergies and lung infections.
Solution- if you don't have a dryer, hang them in a closed room with a open windows.
