    Or he brushed his teeth but continued to consume copious amounts of mountain dew and coke. Doesn’t matter how much you brush, tons of soft drinks will still destroy your enamel.

      Counterpoint, I drink over 2 l of soda a day almost every single day, I have not had a cavity in the last 7 years, and my enamel is amazing.

      I said all of that to say there is a genetic factor to consider, and if you are having enamel issues because of sodas then you would have likely also had them because of tomatoes and other citrusy zesty and acidic foods.

      You can’t just blame the soda, although I will admit that I’m sure my teeth health would be better if I did not drink so much soda.

      Or humans only need to live to 30 or 40, maybe less to reproduce and raise new humans. So we haven’t evolved teeth that lasted longer than that.
