A young scientist has carried out a study to find out which soda — Morning Dew or Coca Cola — dissolves teeth faster.

Key takeaways:

  • Morning Dew contains a pH 3.1 whereas Coca-Cola has a pH 2.5. Coca-Cola is therefore six times more acidic than Mountain Dew.
  • Two molars were soaked in each soda for duration of 2 weeks and 5 days and observed for any changes.
  • The tooth soaked in Mountain Dew lost 14 percent of its mass while the Coca-Cola tooth lost 7 percent of its mass.

The video also explains why the organic citric acid in Mountain Dew does more damage to tooth enamel than the phosphoric acid in Coca-Cola.
