DIET: Sugar-free drinks may damage teeth, study says Sugar-free drinks may be as damaging to your teeth as those that contain the sweet stuff. New research from the Oral Health Cooperative Research Centre at the University of Melbourne, Australia, found soft drinks and sports drinks without sugar can cause measurable damage to tooth enamel. Researchers found that sugar-free drinks that contain acidic additives and those with low pH levels led to softening of dental enamel by between one-third and one-half of normal. The team tested 23 different types of sugar-free drinks, according to Medical News Today.
IN THE NEWS: Muscle relaxants, opioids offer no benefit for low back pain In a new study, people who arrive at the emergency room with severe low back pain didn't experience more relief with muscle relaxants or opioids than with over-the-counter painkillers. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) alone offered as much relief as more powerful painkillers. The New England Journal of Medicine estimated that at least 103,000 patients are hospitalized per year in the United States for serious gastrointestinal complications due to NSAID use. This study estimated that 16,500 NSAID-related deaths occur among patients with rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis every year in the United States. Drugs can be dangerous as well is an ineffective as a study indicated. The largest government studies for low back pain show the number one active treatment is spinal adjustments. Seek safe solutions for your health problems. Chiropractic first, drugs second and surgery last.
