I would say yes, its not good for your tooth enamel. But the good news is, I just found and purchased low acid orange juice. Its very good. I find it to be easier on my stomach if its empty, like in the morning. I have bought low acid apple juice too.
I don't drink a ton of juice, but its really nice once in a while. Better than pop. But water is truly my choice when extra thirsty. Thats probably bad for us too!! What isnt these days? I guess moderation is the key to just about any thing.
Yes, in time the citric acid will wear down the enamel
Juice is loaded with sugar; some of the sugar is natural fruit sugar but still sugar. It's bad for your teeth. People think juice is healthy but it's much better to eat the whole fruit rather than just drink juice. The citric acid would also eat at your tooth enamel. I never drink juice except for apple juice once in awhile.
yea. too much citric acid (of any kind)can wear down your teeth.
I suppose over a couple of hundred years you could wear down you teeth but don't hold your breath. A bigger concern might be the presence of reducing sugars which can lead to tooth decay. However assuming you are a normal person who brushes her teeth regularly it should not be important. You must weigh the cost/benefit of orange juice and the benefit far outweigh any possible harm.
Soft drinks are much worse because they have a different acid and have very little benefit and not nutritional value outside of calories. Perhaps that's what "this guy" was referring to. Please don't take your scientific nutritional advice from any "this guy" again.

Too much acid will start to wear the enamel off of your teeth. They now make a toothpaste to help prevent that from happening.
acid in orange juice will wear down the enamel. tho it does have wonderful vitamins like calcium and vitamin C, too much of it can eat at your enamel. I'd say one pint measurement every two days can do no harm if you brush well. its orange juice, its not going to kill ya. =D
Too much of any juice is bad because juice contains such high amounts of sugar, even in their natural form. Try to limit juice consumption to one glass per day or water down juice to lessen the sugar and acid amounts.
It can be, but only if you don't brush/floss regularly! It's the same with eating anything really!
Yes it can too much of citrus fruits which are very acidic for you can lead to acid erosion so it can make your enamel wear off.Too much water is also bad for you cause if you drink gallons of it then it will give you water intoxication so it's only good to eat and drink these things in moderation.
Potentially yes, not just from the acidic content of the juice, but also, oranges, surprisingly contain the most sugar per fruit than any other fruit commonly eaten, in the form of fructose.
yes the sugar and the acid will wear down your teeth. it is good fo you if you drink it sensibly as it is a good source of vitimin c
Too much orange juice is really bad for your teeth. Orange juice especially is highly acidic and wears down on the enamel on your teeth. As far as good for you goes, juice is very good for you if you drink it in moderation. Juice is chocked full of nutrients and vitamins which your body needs to stay healthy. The important thing to remember is moderation. Too much of a good thing can be bad.
