What does apple juice contain, which harms your teeth?
Answers:

sugar
fructose (fruit sugar)
There is sugar in the form of fructose, and also fruit acid which is extremely bad for teeth in prolonged and large doses.
Orange juice is even more acidic which gives it the tangy taste. Fruit is actually nearly as bad for ur teeth as sugar because it still contains natural sugars in the form of fructose.
Apple juice, like all other fruit juices, is both acidic and sweet. In other words, the acid will soften the enamel of the teeth while the sugar will give an energy source for the caries bacteria-- so fruit juices will help you get cavities.
