Point
It's in the abstract. University of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
I glanced through the article. There's a lot of science in it.
There is a paragraph that states "A comparison between carbonated and noncarbonated waters...showed that carbonated waters averaged significantly higher TDS (Total Dissolved Solids)...concentrations than noncarbonated brands."
It's in the abstract. Quintessence Publishing.
"The Abrasive Efffect of Glazed, Unglazed and Polished Porcelain on the Wear of Human Enamel, and the Influence of Carbonated Soft Drinks on the Rate of Wear," International Journal of Prosthodontics, 1997, Volume 10, Issue 3, pp 269-282. I could only find the abstract. Maybe the article is in the library. It does say soft drinks. The trouble is worth the apology perk package if I can back it up.
Is Allison still smoking Crack?

read it again. it doesn't say anything about calcium. these waters are bottled, not collected from someone's urine stream after they've had a chance to absorb our precious bodily minerals.
an abstract is enough proof. You don't need to find the whole article.
and yes, I agree that soft drinks (such as cactus cooler) are unhealthy. but that is not because of carbonation. Notice that it does not even conclude that soft drinks causes wear on tooth enamel (which they do because, sugar and acid), but rather that they cause porcelain to cause greater wear on tooth enamel.
so to answer your final question: yes, but you are doing good research.
for your efforts I will award you one can of kroger brand club soda.
Thank you Kroger Club Soda Man. Could you throw in a lime?
This is why I want to read the whole article. Maybe, just maybe, there is something in there that I can use.
I agree with the sugar and acid. That is bad for your teeth.
Rate of wear on tooth enamel using soft drinks. This is where the problem lies, Heterogeneous Instruments Player, just using soft drinks doesn't help my arguement.
If this was done with just carbonated water I would have a solid arguement.
Who could we commission to do a study such as the one done at the University of Winnipeg with the variables such as the ones from Quintessence Publishing?
I'll keep looking.
But but but... Cactus Cooler!!
Would someone please think of the Cactus Cooler?
