Watch those teeth!

Bit short, but still interesting findings, thanks..

> you can often find Olympians gracing the bottles and advertisements of those sports drinks.
Yeah, but that is the marketing endorsement trade. Mucho $$. It has nothing to do with what the athletes actually drink when running. (Hint: it is not all those expensive sports drinks.)

Or is a more alkaline saliva less likely to erode tooth enamel. They call it acid erosion for a reason:/ Oh I know let's just mention an unnamed "protein".
The study seems very badly designed, even the researchers admit it, no single-blind, never mind double-blind, no mention of confidence levels, simply bad science.
But it makes people click links, so it's all good X[

Backpackers often suffer from tooth problems due to the nature of our food intake—being that we often eat no-cook foods which are hard on the teeth. Broken teeth, cracked teeth, broken crowns—you name it.

I've had several crowns pop off on backpacking trips, once when eating a larabar, but luckily I had some store-bought crown glue and replaced it in the field and it's still holding up.

Now, who knows about field-extractions? I know, a rock and a sharp stick.

On the note of athletes drinking sugary drinks, I once was watching the X-games when they switched to a shot of Tony Hawk a few seconds too early and accidentally broadcasted his assistant filling a red bull can with water before handing it to Tony for the product placement.
