Last week we published in our YouTube channel<\/a> an experiment in which our partner Marina Mill\u00e1n<\/strong> measured the pH of different liquids using special test strips. The aim was to find out the level of acidity of these liquids, and thus find out which ones are more harmful to the enamel. In a somewhat basic causal relationship that we will explain in greater depth later, the higher the acidity, the more harmful to our oral health.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without going into the complexity surrounding pH from a chemistry point of view, suffice it to say that more than a century ago, the chemist S\u00f8ren Peter Lauritz created what we know today as the pH scale, which ranges from values from 1 to 14<\/strong> and according to which a neutral substance should give a result of 7. Anything below is considered acidic and anything above is considered alkaline.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the experiment carried out in our dental clinic in Murcia<\/strong>The results did not come as a surprise, showing that the liquids with the lowest results were sweetened beverages or lemon, thus making them the most damaging to enamel.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
