This article is very surprising! It states that red wine actually helps prevent bacteria from sticking to saliva and teeth. In addition, the wine limits inflammation and periodontal disease. Of course this leads to preventing gingivitis and tooth decay and tooth loss. This all points to the antioxidant effects that we are most aware of in red wine. In addition the article states that white wines are so acidic that it may erode the teeth.

Tell me what you think?
