They should have used orange and/or pineapple juice instead of apple juice.

They are high acid juices that would make for more fair/interesting study.

Just brush your teeth after drinking a non-water drink. Why would you baste your teeth in chemicals?

University of Michigan pediatric dental researcher Michael Ignelzi, DDS, PhD, has recently reviewed new research on the effects of beverages on children?s teeth. But he says there?s no evidence showing that sports drinks are any worse than other soft drinks.

That's how they summed up the article.

I wonder if this is why I never got cavities as a kid. I didn't brush my teeth consistently, and even then only maximum once that day. But we also never had juice or cola to drink. Only on occasion did we have koolaid - but that was all sugar, no acidity.

Did you have city water or was well water? Many cities/townships have flouride added to water which helps out considerably in preventing cavities.

it's just their mirror of the site since 99% of sites that get linked from digg go down because of heavy traffic.

Speak for yourself, buddy. If I can't still taste my drink/food the next morning, it didn't do it's job. I laugh at you people who only enjoy your food for a few minutes.
