Plus the calorie intake if you are not doing any exercise at all will increase your calorie intake so that could be bad for you.
Basically it is like anything else - moderation and other lifestyle factors dictate how healthy something is

Whitening teeth is not necessarily the same thing as great for teeth. They have a mild bleaching action that can remove stains, but they are still quite acidic, and acid is not great for tooth enamel.
So rinse thoroughly after eating.
It really isn't but whatever you wish to believe.
do you honestly think strawberries would rot enamel? whenever I eat strawberries my teeth look perfect
And if you honest don't believe that acidic fruits can't cause acid wear on teeth, then that is completely up to you. I will continue to rinse my mouth out after eating such things.
Also again looking and being are two different things entirely. As I said I agree they whiten teeth, this does not necessary mean they are healthy for teeth - just removing stains that is all.
Also you will notice that I emboldened "Its only when guzzling cans and cans of coke that acid becomes a problem." which was the point I was making, if you believe that it is only Coke that causes acid wear then you are mistaken.
That's the advice my dentist gives me.
My dentist has given me the same advice too, he actually complains because since the introduction of "5-a-day" he has noticed an increase in acid wear in teeth. People just hear that it is healthy and therefore can't be bad at all.
And you are a sensible person so if you are doing it I would be more inclined to copy you than some other posters on here
Actually my dentist doesn't recommend that. I would be interested to know where your qualifications lie - or would this just be information from blogs all the time
Also I like that you dismiss what our dentists say as the rambling of a madman but your dentist says your teeth are perfect so of course that guy is correct
oh wait...i forgot an arrogant
Really? Well I would love to see these studies conducted saying fruit acids don't do nothing to teeth I really would. And my smilie wasn't arrogant just trying to keep it light.
Also my teeth are fine too, although a dentist told me this and we know how much of a charlatan those professionals can be don't we.
do they recommend flouride? yes. is this stupid? yes
Did I say they were stupid no? I said Charlatan - that doesn't mean stupid.
Anyway, I am not that fussed any more. I stand by my points that fruit could cause acid wear and rinsing your mouth out is recommended, coke isn't the only thing to cause acid wear, and strawberries can remove stains from teeth (if they are light stains) but this doesn't necessarily mean they are great for teeth, just good at removing stains.
