新奇事件簿 喝葡萄酒損壞牙齒
Drinking wine can damage your teeth. That’s the conclusion of a report from the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany. Researchers tested the effects of eight red and eight white wines on teeth from men and women aged between 40 to 65. They discovered all of the wines damaged the enamel that protects our teeth. This makes our teeth more sensitive to hot and cold food and drinks. It also means the teeth will stain quicker if someone drinks coffee. The research team said white wine causes more damage than red. The acid in white wines attacks the enamel and wears it away. The bad news is that brushing your teeth after drinking wine will only make things worse. Wine drinkers previously thought red wine was worse for your teeth.
喝酒會損壞你的牙齒。這是德國美因茨約翰內斯古滕貝格大學一份報告得出的結論。研究人員測試了八種紅葡萄酒和八種白葡萄酒對40歲至65歲男女牙齒的影響。他們發(fā)現(xiàn)，所有的葡萄酒都會損害保護我們牙齒的牙釉質。這讓我們的牙齒對過冷和過熱的食物和飲料都更加敏感。還意味著如果喝咖啡的話，牙齒會更快出現(xiàn)污漬。研究小組表示，白葡萄酒造成的損害比紅葡萄酒更嚴重。白葡萄酒中的酸襲擊牙釉質，將它磨損。壞消息是，喝葡萄酒后刷牙只會讓情況更加糟糕。過去，喝葡萄酒的人認為紅葡萄酒對牙齒的損害更大。
The research has been published in the journal “Nutrition Research”. Report co-author Dr. Brita Willershausen told reporters: “Within the limits of this study, it can be predicted that frequent consumption of white wines might lead to severe dental erosion.” The researchers did have some good news for wine lovers. They said food that is rich in calcium can help limit the damage. The report stated: “The tradition of enjoying different cheeses for dessert or in combination with drinking wine might have a beneficial effect on preventing dental erosion because cheese contains calcium in a high concentration.” Other factors can also help reduce the amount of erosion wine causes. Less frequent sips and swallowing the wine a little more quickly can help save your teeth.
研究發(fā)表在《營養(yǎng)研究》雜志上。報告聯(lián)合作者Brita Willershausen博士告訴記者：“在這項研究的限制范圍內，可以預測，經常飲用白葡萄酒可能會導致嚴重的牙酸蝕病。”對于喜歡喝葡萄酒的人來說，研究人員也帶來了一些好消息。他們表示，富含鈣的食物可以限制損害。報告稱：“食用奶酪作甜點的傳統(tǒng)或者邊喝葡萄酒邊吃奶酪或許對防止牙酸蝕病有幫助，因為奶酪中鈣的含量很高。”其他因素還幫助減少葡萄酒造成的腐蝕。減少飲用次數(shù)，更快吞咽葡萄酒都可以保護牙齒。
