Beware of soft drinks

[Guest guest]

The rest of this article may be true, but this piece isn't:

 

>Someone put a broken tooth in a bottle of Pepsi and in 10

>days it DISSOLVED! Can you believe it?

 

Beware of claims that are this vague (e.g. the ref to "someone").

This is an old rumor. If you're doubtful, try the experiment

yourself the next time you have a child who loses his/her teeth.

We've tried it several times in our house as has my kids' friends.

It's never worked. The tooth looks as whole up to a month later,

although by then it's definitely discolored.

 

Please don't take my text to mean that I endorse soft drinks. I grew

up with a mother who was very much against them, never developed a

taste for them, and we don't keep them in the house (except for the

above science experiment). My kids drink only natural products

(around me anyway), such as juices, milk, and water. Softdrinks are

certainly not nutritious. They fill kids up with empty calories and

they may even be harmful. However, before we endorse any specific

claims of harm, we need to be certain of our facts.

It may also interest you to note that carbon dioxide in soft drinks leaches

the calcium out of ones system and so increases the likelihood of

osteoporosis.
