Also heard on the news a while back to eat cheese after a meal and before bed: <LI id=jsArticleStep1 itxtvisited="1">Topping off a meal with aged cheese canprevent tooth decay according to studies by Ralph Burgess, D.D.S. Burgess says the high levels of calcium and phosphates found in aged cheese create a protective barrier for tooth enamel. Acidic foods break down calcium and phosphate in your teeth, causing decay and cavities. Protect your teeth after meals by munching on cheddar for best results, but Burgess assures that other aged cheeses, such as unprocessed Gruyere, American, Gouda, Edam or provolone will work just as well. Halpern also suggests chewing sugar-free gum at for at least 20 minutes after meals to prevent cavities. Sugar-free chewing gum is made with xylitol, which prevents the build up of cavity-causing micro-organisms in the mouth. The chewing motion also stimulates the flow of saliva, which flushes food debris. Halpern states that toothpicks are quick fix to remove lodged food before bacteria has a chance to develop and promote decay. Use a toothpick after meals to carefully remove any food left between teeth and prevent opportunities for cavities to develop.

| I have a problem with enamel wearing down as it is. Just can't really drink otu of a bottle with a straw in class or eat while drhinking it. If I can't stop, the dentist wants me to drink it during meal times only - and that is just not going to work. It is horrible and artificial sweeteners can slow the uptake of serotonin, so it can cause depression. Isn't that nice?

| That's funny, bc I have been a bit down as of late, and my soda consumption has temporarily increased (as I've been trying to limit and thought more would make me happy).... duh! Just an idea.... carry a bottle of water too, to rinse the soda off your teeth after each drink. Or those little Baby bell cheese snacks may work for you. You really have to make a decision: How important is having your teeth to you and how much time and money do you want to be spending at the dentist's office?

| I know drinking water can be horrible for some, but it really is one of the best things you can do for your body. Your body doesn't have to process it (like soda) so it can reap it's benefits without having to work for it. Also, dehydration can make one feel like total crap. Many times DH comes home from work and says, I don't know, I just don't feel well, Not sick, but weak and listless. As soon as he drinks some water he begins to feel better. I tend to drink more water when I start feeling unwell, or not 100%. And I wouldn't try stopping soda cold turkey, too shocking to the body and the mind. But I just started at home, I'd make a glass of icewater, and when I got thirsty, I would take a drink of the water first. If I felt like I really needed the soda, I would then drink that too. Then work up to just having your soda at meal times. It was easier for me if it wasn't an 'either/or' situation... And as you know soda is bad for you, every time you drink it you think, this is not good for me. When you drink water, you get to think, Yuk, but I am doing something good for my body and health. So it turns into a warm, fuzzy feel good moment! ( My apologies for my last post.... I didn't intend to sound 'mean'... just giving a friend a 'wake-up call'...)

| Strange isn't it? I cannot stand cotton candy because it is way too sweet to me and I really do compare that taste to a regular soda now. Even though I know that the diet ones aren't any healthier....they just taste good to me now. |

| I'm back on my diet today. Chewing gum with my soda this am. I dont' like chewing gum all day though. My hygienist said that I should be using fluoride nightly if I want to keep up this habit. I have mixed feelings about it. Ran across some info on it a few years back and have hesitated to use it except for what is in toothpaste. It is a toxin and I'm not sure I want to use that much daily. Besides, she said go to sleep without eating or drinking after which is really going to irritate me. So still thinking about that. On the good side of things, I don't really drink coffee, so I don't have caffeine from that too.

Thor's Human Donating Member | That's interesting about the cheese. Makes me think of the French custom of having a cheese course at the end of a meal.

| Years ago, I kept gaining weight as did hubby. We switched cold turkey to diet drinks. We lost weight and can not stand the taste of regular cokes. To me diet Mtn Dew and diet Dr Pepper taste like the original did. I am mostly faithful to my diet coke though. Our dtr drinks reg coke. It gets ugly if a waiter gets the drinks mixed up. I'm like: this doesn't taste right, dh you try it, so then there may be 2 of us saying yuck. Sometimes it is just the carbonation being off. I often order water with lemon when we eat out.

| I used to drink alot of Diet Coke but now I drink water with a slice of lemon or sometimes a slice of orange. When it's hot out, water and lemon is a very nice way to cool off. |

| When I was working I would always keep water at my desk. I would have a diet coke at lunch and that was it for the day. Now I am home all the time I never drink water and go with a diet coke or diet 7up in my hand. I have gotten where water almost makes me sick, espically to take pills. I am also addicted to ice. Someone was telling me that her doctor told her if you craved ice your body has a need for iron. Never heard that before.....but love ice. (bad on teeth I bet) Maybe I should start taking some iron and see if it helps. |

| Just seeing this thread. Diet A&W is awesome! The only issue is no caffeine, so I drink it after I have had a caffeine Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi.
