[color=#3f3f3f][font=Verdana, 宋体, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=12px][p=21, 2, left]In many countries, white wines such as Chardonnay are the preferred choice when people have seafood or [b]poultry[/b] dishes. And they certainly don’t [b]stain[/b] your teeth, tongue or lips like red wines do.[/p][p=21, 2, left]However findings published in the journal of Nutrition Research, may come as a [b]revelation[/b] to most drinkers.[/p][p=21, 2, left]It’s claimed that enjoying a glass of white wine on a frequent [b]basis[/b] can damage your teeth, because of the high [b]acidity[/b] levels in white wine it can [b]erode[/b] the [b]tooth enamel[/b] more quickly than red wine.[/p][p=21, 2, left]The team of researchers examined the effects on teeth of eight red and eight white wines from different parts of the world.[/p][float=right][img=226,170]http://www.24en.com/d/file/bbc/bbc2/2009-10-22/607a41fe635f98e06bb0897408097d35.jpg[/img][p=30, 2, left]White wine can damage our teeth[/p][/float]

[p=21, 2, left]In the lab, adult teeth soaked in white wine for a day suffered a loss of both [b]calcium[/b] and a [b]mineral[/b]called phosphorus to [b]depths[/b] of up to 60 micrometers in the enamel[b]surface[/b], which the researchers say is [b]significant[/b].[/p][p=21, 2, left]And the matter isn’t helped by brushing your teeth soon after drinking, as excessive brushing action can lead to further loss of enamel. Also the effects can be made worse by how frequently you [b]sip[/b] your wine.[/p][p=21, 2, left]But the study wasn’t all bad news for wine lovers. By having cheese or creamy desserts, the acid attacks can be reduced.[/p][p=21, 2, left]“The tradition of enjoying different cheeses for dessert, or in [b]combination[/b]with drinking wine, might have a beneficial effect on preventing dental erosion since cheeses contain calcium in a high concentration," the scientists added.[/p][p=21, 2, left]Professor Damien Walmsley, of the British Dental Association[b]recommended[/b] a 30 minute break between drinking and brushing and to drink wine with food.[/p][p=21, 2, left]“[b]Consuming[/b] wine alongside food, rather than on its own, means the[b]saliva[/b] you produce as you [b]chew[/b] helps to [b]neutralise[/b] its acidity and limits its [b]erosive [/b]potential.”[/p][/size][/font][/color]
