Researchers now say if you're going to eat your veggies, you better
take care of your teeth. A new study found certain methods of cooking
vegetables can cause the acid content to go up. For example, oven
roasting green peppers significantly increased their acidity. The
vegetables' acid levels become roughly like a carbonated beverage,
which have been known to cause dental erosion. Check out the video

So, if I don't eat roasted peppers, I do NOT need to take good care of my
teeth?

Thank you so much for this. I keep a list of things I've been warned
about as being deleterious in some way to my health. This goes right
on there at position number 948. -aem

LOL! I would like to see a list of foods that have not been implicated
as being harmful in some way. It's a mighty short list me thinks!

Not even. People have died from drinking too much water.

But back to the original implication of roasted peppers, might the
warning have some use for a small group of at-risk people? Maybe those
with a history of bulemia or sensitive teeth? Me, I brush my teeth, see
a dentist, and don't worry about the few sodas I drink in a year, but I
could imagine that someone with a very particular medical history could
be glad to know to be as careful with roasted peppers as they are with
carbonated drinks. I'll bet it is something that even dentists don't
know to warn their specialty patients about.

As my parents get older and have to watch what they eat more and more, I
get more sensitive to the issue. Mom can no longer drink anything
carbonated. Dad has to be careful with even the smallest amount of
vinegar. It seems like everything is at risk of giving them serious
acid reflux or some other symptom that could land them in the emergency
room. And the funny thing is that they're not frail people. As long as
they're super careful about avoiding a long list of forbidden foods,
they can go out and have fun and eat in fine restaurants. Since I'm the
cook in the family, I try to suggest recipes they can eat and enjoy and
give advice on what to order in a restaurants.

Oh hell no. Water in excess can kill you. Honest. Hyponatremia, caused
from drinking too much water, for example.

Water.

Uh, water can kill you...
More than one person has died of water intoxication.
Happens often in "hazing" fatalities.

When I saw that video, my bulls*** detector started smoking and I had to
unplug it quick before it burst into flames.

Roasting peppers probably does increase their acidity dramatically
because they have so little acidity to start with. Then they
extrapolated the part (polite way to say they made it up) about being
bad for your teeth and about carbonated beverages because it makes good
television.

I wouldn't make any life-changing decisions based on that information
until you find it corroborated by a reliable source somewhere.

Best regards,
Bob

Here's a reliable source:
http://www.cspinet.org/nah/index.htm

They do a great job of blowing fads and USA Today-Faux News nutritional
[censored] into little pieces. Everything's got cites to actual research. And,
the paper version is cheap.

This is such [censored]. I suspect you ruin your teeth more by drinking
one can of soda than eating veggies for a year.

Everyone at home laughed at me when I told them about it. I had to
drink a lot of water for an ultra-sound and felt terrible afterwards.
It was like I was drunk and I had to hang out in the clinic for an hour
before I trusted myself to drive home....not funny....Sharon

I didn't follow the original link to see the video because I don't do
video over the computer. I was going on what others said about it and
can see now that I got it wrong. Thanks for writing and setting me
straight.
