This Popular Soda Is Causing Awful Damage To Kids Teeth Across America. This Needs To Stop.

#1 Tooth decay in kids is rising rapidly and is a direct result of consuming sugary foods and drinks.

Soft drink consumption in the United States has increased dramatically across all demographic groups, especially among children and teenagers.

#2 42% of children ages 2 to 11 have had cavities in their baby teeth and 21% of children ages 6 to 11 have had them in their permanent teeth.

#3 Ms. Pascual said.

The new C.D.C. data shows that tooth decay is "marching through teenhood".

#4 From 2011 to 2012, 56 percent of 6- to 8-year-olds had cavities on baby teeth,

while half of 12- to 15-year-olds did on permanent ones. An even larger percentage of 16- to 19-years-old 67 percent had decay.

It's been reported recently that 11 teeth extractions where performed on a 3-year-old New Zealand boy, all due to his massively high sugar consumption and you won't believe the drink that's causing it.

#5 The green sugary liquid that millions consume every single day is causing tooth decay. That’s right, I’m talking about Mountain Dew.

#6 Mountain Dew has resulted in massively high rates of tooth decay in Appalachia.

11 teeth extractions where performed recently on a 3-year-old New Zealand boy, all due to this massively high sugar consumption.

#7 There’s always been a rumor that Mountain Dew makes young men’s genital regions smaller.

While that's not necessarily true, the bottle it comes in does affect hormones. It's due to BPA in plastic and can linings. BPA keeps the acid in the soda from destroying the can.

#8 When studied by researchers and scientists,

the results show that this toxin significantly increases the chance of infertility, reproductive cancers, altering pancreas beta cells, cardiovascular disease, and thyroid dysfunction.

#9 The New Zealand Dental Association, and the Dr. Beaglehole,

are advising parents to take on a water and milk-only diet for their kids. Soft drinks are a no-no, unless you want your kids to suffer with tooth decay.

#10 Preventive treatment options for tooth decay include tooth brushing with a fluoride toothpaste,

use of fluoride supplements (e.g. fluoride tablets) and application of dental sealants and topical fluorides at dental clinics.
