The level of wellness or health is, in part, determined by the ability to deal with and defend against stress.

Colas knock out teeth

Poor dietary habits threatens to leave a generation with permanent damage to oral and overall health. "Premature loss of tooth enamel and weakening of overall tooth structure are two devastating oral affects of teens' poor diet that can not be reversed," explains Jane Soxman, author of a study that appears in the latest issue of General Dentistry.

Soxman's research shows that drinking carbonated beverages seems to be one of the most significant causes of increased cavities and obesity for today's teens. The phosphoric, citric, tartaric and/or carbonic acid in soda is linked to breaking down the tooth enamel around dental sealants and restorations further compromising teeth and leading to more extensive dental treatment.
