Is it responsible to warn people against eating healthy foods?
Acidic foods should certainly not be avoided altogether. Fruit, for example, is an essential part of a healthy, balanced diet and a good source of many vitamins. As a leading healthcare company, GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare, is working to make people aware of the issue of acid erosion to ensure that they take small steps to minimise the risk. For example, it is best not to regularly brush teeth immediately after consuming acidic food or drinks as this is when tooth enamel is softened and as a consequence, more vulnerable to wear – it is best to wait at least 1 hour and some experts believe even longer.
