We all know the saying "An apple a day will keep the doctor away".
But your dentist might disagree - its been reveled that apples are bad for your teeth just like sweets and sugary drinks.
Truth, apples are a healthy choice when it comes to nutrients for your body. However, when it comes to your teeth, the amount of acid in an apple can give carbonated beverages a run for its money.
So why are apples becoming unhealthy for your teeth? According to a study, cross-breeding apples to come up with newer, more delicious apples has lead to a raised sugar content of 50%. The average apple contains roughly 4 teaspoons of sugar. So between the high sugar content and the natural acid in apples your teeth are getting a double dose of enamel erosion which can lead to tooth decay.
Maintaining a healthy mouth is very important, see your dentist every 6 mouths for regular check ups and cleanings.
