Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Sour Candies Sour Your Dental Health
As you likely know from your child’s Halloween bucket, sour candies are all the rage. In fact, sales of sour treats have surged by 70% over the past decade driven by viral “sour candy challenges” on TikTok and YouTube.
Dentists at the renowned Tufts University School of Dental Medicine warn that sour candy can seriously damage your child’s and your teeth due to its high acid content. The citric, malic, tartaric, and fumaric acids found in these candies trigger enamel erosion. This is true for ALL sour candy varieties currently on the market.
You and your kids don’t have to swear off eating sour candy, but, if you crave it, you should take precautions. After eating sour candy, rinse the mouth with water, remove any sticky residue with floss or a water flosser, and wait 30 minutes or more before brushing with fluoride toothpaste in order to help rebuild enamel. Drinking milk can also help neutralize acid in the mouth.
Your children and you will need teeth for a lifetime. Protect them.

Acid-Base Solutions
How do strong and weak acids differ? Use lab tools on your computer to find out! Dip the paper or the probe into solution to measure the pH, or put in the electrodes to measure the conductivity. Then see how concentration and strength affect pH. Can a weak acid solution have the same pH as a strong acid solution?

'The nastiest soils on Earth' are getting recognized as a bigger problem
Acid sulfate soils are characterized by their orange hue and their tendency to kill surrounding vegetation and fish. Anders Johnson's extensive research along Sweden's coastline reveals the widespread presence of these soils, underscoring their significant impact on water quality and ecosystem health.
