Isn't chocolate bad for your teeth?
0
I just got off the phone with my friend and we eventually started talking about sweets. I haven't had a sugary food (candy, cake, ect) in years due to the paranoia I've built up around them. My friends have gotten use to this and yeah its common knowledge to them. Well I'm talking to him and he asks about why exactly I'm so nervous about sweets and I tell him bout' it (won't go into detail cause' its off-topic) and he tells me "John these things I buy are little chocolate cakes and they taste godly. They don't have any sugar so you can eat them" I tell him I can't cause its chocolate. He responds by saying chocolate doesn't rot teeth, sugar does. Now I ask you... People of Fakku. Isn't chocolate bad for your teeth? Regardless of whether or not it has sugar in it?

I don't think your reason for not liking chocolate would be off topic, not much anyway. But about the teeth, no. My teeth are fine and I occassionally get complimented because of them... yet, I often eat chocolate with coffee.
But that's just me. Maybe you should do research for a more accurate answer.

Well I typically stray from 'research' because most of that is fact. That sounds stupid... I'd rather see what real people who aren't paid to research something think about it. I'd like to know what the average-joe who doesn't have some scientific reasoning but just has the common sense to say "Hey bla bla bla" gah I can't explain it. I don't trust whats 'suppose' to happen. Crest Pro Mouthwash... Reviewed as the greatest on the market... The average-joe was faced with brown stains all over his teeth upon use of the mouthwash but the company denies it. thats the kinda reason I distrust em

Ah, that makes sense. Well yeah, I suppose we'll/you'll have to wait a bit and see what others say.

nah chocolate does not rot your teeth unless it has suger.
yeah I looked it up and asked a friend (who is a cook).
so I belive chocolate is okay to eat the only thing bad about it is that dark chocolate has alot of caffine but I still eat it.

I believed that it was the caffeine that gave rise to this "bad for teeth" business. I've heard that Coke is bad for your teeth due the caffeine, and if there's a correlation, then that would explain why chocolate in particular is bad for your teeth since cocoa has caffeine in them.

lol non-teeth related problems don't concern me in the slightest. I've had pieces of ice lodged into my knee before and couldn't walk on it for weeks but it didn't stop me from paintballing (I got the injury while paintballing)

I suppose there is still reasonable doubt on the matter though so I still won't try it.

i just asked my mother who's a dental hygenist. she said that it IS in fact the sugar in the chocolate that harms your teeth. unsweetened chocolate, like baker's chocolate, is actually good for your teeth. the only thing that's bad is the sugar. now go eats some. :P

Everything will waste your teeth if you don't take care of them ... but yeah - sugar is one of the most destructive mediums.
It's still no reason to get paranoid though. The process is far from instant and good ol toothpaste or mouthwash hinders it completely.
From experience - I've spoiled my teeth in my early years by drinking tea or other non-water liquids through the night when waking up on occasion. A very bad idea if you don't brush them afterwards.

The bacteria in your mouth eat sugar and turn it into an acid, which then destroys the enamel on your teeth. Caffeine might be bad for you for other reasons, but I don't think does anything specifically to your teeth.

Sorry to go off topic :) But last night I spent three hours making chocolate for White Day, so I just want to share :wink: Yeah, I know, pathetic me.
Anyway, I don't really know if chocolate is bad for your teeth, but I myself eat chocolate regularly. It relieves stress, so I think it's not so bad for your health. About my teeth, I couldn't care less.

Carbohydrates are the most easily accessible energy source for the human body and are required to properly metabolize other substances - especially lipids (aka fats). What's important is maintaining the balance - practically every important substance will prove harmful in too low/high quantities.

Chocolate's considered a health food isn't it. So how is it bad for your teeth? Unless your eating it 24/7 by the crap-load.

I love eating sweets! Anything from candy, chocolate, pastries, and whatever the hell of confectionery it may be! :D I even smoke cigarettes an awful lot. And I'm proud to say that every single one my tooth is still intact.
Just know your limits, anything excessive is bad. Take care of your teeth regularly and don't forget to visit your dentist every after 6 months.
- so that you'd be able to smile like this :arrow: :D

only way to prevent the fucking bacteria to use that sugar is to brush teeth before you eat (to reduce the number of bacteria with a decent toothpaste) or after that (to remove the sugar and the bacteria)
