    How simple was that :D :D Now the only problem remains whether the acid would eat away his inside ;)

    Then I propose a very very very long straw. Ideally one of those crinkly ones that can go around corners. Lots of them. ;)

    Yup if he got a straw long enough and strong enough he could drink Conc. Sulphuric acid and nothing would happen :D

    Lime juice is very acidic compared to most foods we eat...but think about this...

    You drink 1 glass of lime juice every day then have a coffee later on with your eggs and toasts...
    at lunch you have pizza and an apple with your orange juice or something...
    Then dinner, you have beef with beans...with some nice red wine...

    Now all of the foods above are either categorized as acidic to very acidic (in fact, probably everything we eat is acidic)...notice how the acidity levels within you can accumulate very quickly?

    Although I don't know of any studies to support this, I think that the action of the nylon bristles upon the teeth may actually exacerbate the problem rather than relieve it. If you insist on drinking lime juice, rinse your mouth with water afterwards rather than brushing and then spit out.

    They're your teeth. Unfortunately, by the time the damage becomes manifest, it's already too late.

    Here's just a few of the 641 articles I found by searching on google under "erosion of tooth enamel":

    No, I don't know why someone would say its bad for you. People have been eating limes forever.

    Agreed. The word limey wasn't invented because of the charming personalities of the British sailors. :D

    Obviously people aren't tucking back huge quantities of pure lime juice. In South East Asia drinks made with lime juice have been popular... probably for centuries.

    But you know how it is these days. Everyone is pushing some agenda. Whether it's more funding for studies or some new super slick health fad that was originally part of the idigenous people of wherever. People now can stop off and get an enema on their way to Yoga and one have their Chakra balanced before they get to Pilates.

    Whatever.

    Brahman - just drink the lime juice already.:D
