| [00:00.235] | In many countries, white wines such as Chardonnay |
| [00:03.898] | are the preferred choice when people have seafood or poultry dishes. |
| [00:08.375] | And they certainly don’t stain your teeth, tongue or lips like red wines do. |
| [00:13.780] | However findings published in the journal of Nutrition Research, |
| [00:18.255] | may come as a revelation to most drinkers. |
| [00:21.387] | It’s claimed that enjoying a glass of white wine on a frequent basis can damage your teeth, |
| [00:27.248] | because of the high acidity levels in white wine |
| [00:29.620] | it can erode the tooth enamel more quickly than red wine. |
| [00:33.280] | The team of researchers examined the effects |
| [00:36.406] | on teeth of eight red and eight white wines from different parts of the world. |
| [00:40.900] | In the lab, adult teeth soaked in white wine for a day |
| [00:44.949] | suffered a loss of both calcium and a mineral |
| [00:48.258] | called phosphorus to depths of up to 60 micrometers in the enamel surface, |
| [00:53.245] | which the researchers say is significant. |
| [00:56.302] | And the matter isn’t helped by brushing your teeth soon after drinking, |
| [01:00.206] | as excessive brushing action can lead to further loss of enamel. |
| [01:04.419] | Also the effects can be made worse by how frequently you sip your wine. |
| [01:09.873] | But the study wasn’t all bad news for wine lovers. |
| [01:13.936] | By having cheese or creamy desserts, the acid attacks can be reduced. |
| [01:19.199] | “The tradition of enjoying different cheeses for dessert, |
| [01:23.403] | or in combination with drinking wine, |
| [01:25.418] | might have a beneficial effect on preventing dental erosion |
| [01:28.826] | since cheeses contain calcium in a high concentration," the scientists added. |
| [01:34.623] | Professor Damien Walmsley, of the British Dental Association, |
| [01:38.075] | recommended a 30 minute break between drinking and brushing and to drink wine with food. |
| [01:44.248] | “Consuming wine alongside food, rather than on its own, |
| [01:48.204] | means the saliva you produce as you chew |
| [01:50.834] | helps to neutralise its acidity and limits its erosive potential.” |
