Acidic food can dissolve your teeth. I’m aware of the involvement of bacteria but I didn’t want to go into too much detail for this one-liner. The point is our teeth are very poorly designed to stay intact in the face of the dietary environment they are used for.
Sure, if you eat a lot of it and have poor dental hygiene. But you have to eat a lot of it. Like the only stories of it being a problem are like one person who would constantly drink lemon water. It’s not particularly acidic, but the constant exposure made it a problem. Most people aren’t anywhere near that level.
Well, I had this issue from drinking too much orange juice. I did drink it often but not an extreme amount I’d say. But even lower levels of acidity can cause your teeth to weaken over time.
It’s not really the food dissolving the teeth.
Bactria feed food remnants and product bacteria, mostly sugars, and product acid that dissolves tooth enamel.
