Unfortifying Orange Juice, Citric Acid Siege

If it rots your teeth to nubs, you can always continue to consume it as soup! But fear not juice-havers, unsweetened cranberry juice knocks out plaque with a fist-to-face whack! Not that the enamel erosion orange juice is being accused of, could even be quelled by the heroic Cranberry Nectar! So fear the OJ like you would an aggravated orangutan!

According to associate professor at University of Rochester Medical Center's Department of Dentistry Yan-Fang Ren, this is the tax we must evade! A look at the brief for his study on the website for the Journal of Dentistry shows that "Orange juice erosion markedly decreased hardness and increased roughness of enamel." In particular, the hardness of the surface of 15 human enamel discs (sounds like the end extraction of some unthinkable torture...) exposed to orange juice decreased *$ percent! That's right, if you couldn't tell - 84%!

PANIC IN TAIPEI!

The orangutans with their helmets and jungle camouflage have escaped their zoo imprisonment and made for their native rainforest, where they are in their element. No longer content being fed oranges by the baby blue overall-wearing Taiwanese zookeepers, they have turned and made for the vine-knotted thick. In the murk, they plot to outflank their former captors!

Muzha Zoo! You see, the orangutans here always had the spirit to overcome. Why, even little Ka-Shu put on a glove - overcome! It was only a matter of time before the orangutans donned their army helmets and snapped to it! You see, the Orangutans are always reaching to master their.... awww nevermind.
