The study was conducted by King’s College London’s Dental Institute and they found that people who drink fruit teas twice a day are more likely to suffer from severe tooth erosion. The research was carried out on over 300 people who developed the habit of drinking lemon tea or ginger tea or berry teas. They also noticed the growing trend for people to consume hot water and lemon in the morning after getting up.
