NEW FROM ENGLANDThe first soft drink to carry the seal of approval of Britains dentists was launched in April. Ribina Tooth Kind is the first soft drink to be accredited by the British Dental Association (BDA). Accreditation means BDA experts confirmed maker SmithKline Beecham's scientific claims and entitles the drink to carry the organization's name and logo. Until now, there have been no soft drinks that do not promote dental erosion or encourage tooth decay. The drink contains no added sugar and is lower in the fruit acids which have been blamed for helping to cause dental erosion. It is also high in Vitamin C. A 1996 survey for the health education authority showed dental erosion by acidic drinks and other sources of acids now effects 30% of thirteen year olds.Ribina Tooth Kind can be purchased from Myers of Keswick, telephone: 212-691-4194. --> return to menu / back ...
