Study Shows Calci Sodas are Tooth-Friendly
Calci Sodas received some unexpected, but welcomed, notoriety in the February 2008 issue of the European Journal of Oral Science. This international, peer-reviewed, journal—which publishes original research papers concerning clinical dentistry—featured a study that found beverages with calcium caused little to no enamel dental erosion or wear.
Researchers at the Indiana University School of Dentistry studied the effect10 different beverages, five with and five without calcium, had on tooth enamal. The study found some of those beverages with calcium caused little to no enamel erosion or wear on the teeth.
The beverages were selected from five categories: cola-type, citrus-type, uncarbonated orange beverage, sports drink, and natural orange juice; and included only commercially available products.
This study ranked the beverages high in calcium—Calci-Cola, Minute Maid (version with calcium), Calci Sport, and a Calci uncarbonated orange flavor beverage as the top four—as they did not cause any erosion.
The Calcium Beverage Company did not commission this study. The company first learned about the study when one of the researchers contacted the company to see if these products were available in Europe.
