Sleep and exercise are proven stress relievers and promoters of health. But more than 90 million Americans don’t get a good night’s sleep, and many find it difficult to develop daily exercise routines. People are constantly seeking new products and looking for more ways to become energized.

Many athletes, weekend warriors, business people and homemakers have turned to various energy boosters, including very popular and highly promoted sport and energy drinks such as Amp and Red Bull.

The researchers immersed pieces of human enamel (outside covering of the tooth and the hardest substance in the body) in 13 popular beverages. The study found that non-cola soft drinks, energy/sports drinks, and commercial lemonade “showed the most aggressive dissolution effect on dental enamel,” and in fact, were up to 11 times more erosive than cola.
