Caring For Tooth Enamel; If My Diet Beverage Doesn’t List Phosphoric Acid As An Ingredient Is It Totally Safe?

My beverage lists citric acid and malic acid. With no sugar or phosphoric acid I can drink as much as I want – yes?
Diet Pepsi, for contrast, lists citric acid and phosphoric acid.

Citric acid can also do damage to teeth.

Citric acid will affect your tooth enamel. I suggest you drink water – it gives you energy, has no calories and no artificial sweeteners. Artificial sugars raise insulin levels the same as natural sugars do, the only difference is the caloric content.

hey derek, your,e not going to like it…but , please , go to http://www.newstarget.com put diet sodas into the search box.. by the time you read up on the fake sweeteners, and whats in your drink, water is actually appealing all over again! or coffee or tea or anything but that stuff. sorry , sad but true.
and type in the aspartames and sucralose etc and see what you see, disturbing coverups ,big money, and dubious testing and rushed approvals, abound!

NO!!!!!! even soda water over time breaks our teeth down. the fizz is acidic. and it is not just your teeth that you have to worry about-there are always dentures, but articicial sweetners have been linked directly to cancers!! phenylketyl-what ever are really bad!! go for water-still water.
