15. I've heard about this

especially because my kids had dental issues as toddlers and I was told they had weak enamel so I did a lot of research about it. Oddly enough, the ones I didn't drink pop/coke with were the ones with the worst teeth. Actually with one pregnancy, when I entered my second trimester I started to get migraines and it was suggested to drink one regular coke/day instead of taking tylenol, as, at the time, any medication was seen as bad. So the one coke a day totally got rid of my migrains. That was the child with the best teeth out of the 4. Go figure. The one I was most careful with any caffiene/pop consumption had the worst teeth.

I did, however, drink plenty of pop (usually diet coke) between pregnancies, so perhaps that had an effect. It's probably also somewhat genetic - their dad and his family had terrible teeth.
