There are many health benefits to consuming orange juice, fruit juices and sports drinks such as Gatorade. These drinks may contain beneficial ingredients such as vitamin C and antioxidants; they can also replenish nutrients lost during a sporting event and lower the chance of heart disease, cancer and even Alzheimer’s.
These drinks can sometimes do more harm than good, if not consumed carefully. Orange, fruit and sport drink consumption should always be followed by tooth brushing, or if you are not able to brush, drink plenty of water to remove sugar that lingers on the teeth and gums.
Sugar is consumed by bacteria and converts to and acid, which wears away at teeth and causes cavities.
Tooth enamel can be worn, by consuming these drinks, leading to cavities, sensitive teeth and eventually tooth loss. Studies have indicated that toothpaste with fluoride may help to lessen the effects of these drinks.
