- CheeseburgerBro, on 04/19/2008, -12/+123Why apologize? We don't care if you look like an Orc.
- inactive, on 04/19/2008, -35/+141Sorry, I won't be cleaning - that is, dissolving - my teeth with acid.
- inactive, on 04/19/2008, -2/+88Any before/after shots to see how effective this is?

Not only was this on digg already, it was on diggnation. - jaedwads21, on 04/19/2008, -0/+84the pH of citric acid, that found in lemons is 2.3, the pH of malic acid is 5.1, and then you brush it right off. sounds pretty safe to me.
- PeppermintPig, on 04/19/2008, -2/+84How's it taste? I mean, would it make you lose interest in eating Strawberries in general?
Five words: Orange Juice and Tooth Paste. - Spanktacular, on 04/19/2008, -3/+85Really? How many sodas do you have in a week?

After: http://www.dentistryonking.com/files/4-1035-thumb. ... - p0tent1al, on 04/19/2008, -4/+71Baking soda is an abrasive, and while it will whiten your teeth even without the strawberry. The downside to being an abrasive, is after continued use it will start removing your enamel, and it will start scratching your gums (especially if you use a Medium / Hard bristle brush).
Unless you really know what you are doing, I would stay away from these "Whiter Teeth" solutions because almost all of them hinge on using some abrasive that could hurt your teeth in the long run. - fhernand, on 04/19/2008, -1/+60at least it sounds better than that cigarette ash solution..
- aMammoth, on 04/19/2008, -0/+56Wow somone who is educated, or actually thinks before he posts on digg, congrats.
- jrapp, on 04/19/2008, -0/+55Baking Powder != Baking Soda
Although baking powder does contain an amount of baking soda, they are not the same. - Jerryskid02, on 04/19/2008, -1/+41After 4 you're supposed to call your doctor!! CALL YOUR DOCTOR!!!
- nmeadata, on 04/19/2008, -7/+46Wouldn't the baking soda neutralize the acid?
- squarepegs, on 04/19/2008, -0/+36Notice the article said this is ok to use once a week, but then it also said:
“Be careful not to use this too often, though, as the acid could damage the enamel on your teeth." - lucutus, on 04/19/2008, -2/+38I have been trying this since the last time it was up on the front page. Now my teeth are pink and I've got stawberry seeds stuck in my gums.
j/k - mescad, on 04/19/2008, -3/+35If the answer is more than zero, he's already putting enough acid on his teeth and this is a really bad idea.
- Pritchard, on 04/19/2008, -1/+28I buried as inaccurate, not a dupe....
1 Strawberry + Baking Power = Eroded Teeth. - TheCasablancan, on 04/19/2008, -2/+27According to http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~comm/lacf-phs.html
Strawberries have a pH of 3.27 - 3.86. Limes have a pH of 2.00 - 2.80, and sodas have a pH of 2.5 to 2.8.
If you are concerned about acid from strawberries, but drink soda, you don't make sense. - Myonosken, on 04/19/2008, -2/+26^ Where did the retards come from?
- Timmaay, on 04/19/2008, -0/+24Damnit, that was ***** gross.
- MasterThief117, on 04/19/2008, -3/+26I also hear using white-out also works.
- chorne, on 04/19/2008, -2/+23Dupe, as seen on Diggnation 115
- aurispector, on 04/19/2008, -1/+22Yes it will damage your enamel. Acids dissolve the calcium out of the enamel; any acid based "whitening" will do this, which is why no self respecting dentist will recommend it. As an added bonus, you are pretty likely to induce (possible severe) tooth sensitivity.
The commercial whitening products all use peroxide, which doesn't dissolve enamel. They can still cause sensitivity so use with care. - inactive, on 04/19/2008, -0/+19The only thing I trust about you is that your username isn't related to you.
- defectDS, on 04/19/2008, -0/+18Of ALLLLL the thing for me to be allergic to...
- M4v3rIC, on 04/19/2008, -0/+15that's right. water and blood are both around 7pH and the closer to 7 - the safer it is. Remember in fight club when he made the scar on his hand out of lye? Water didn't help it because he didn't neutralize the pH to a comfortable level. If you take Lye (pH 13.6) and something like Vinegar (3pH) you can better neutralize the pH. Actually, Coffee beer and orange juice all are worse than Malic acid. I think the agent to be worrying about in this is the baking soda which has a 9pH. Even though it would neutralize the solution, you use more baking soda than Malic acid.
- shanomaq, on 04/19/2008, -2/+16Yes and the soda, understanding your INTENT, refrains from removing your enamel.
- ennTOXX, on 04/19/2008, -8/+22Move over strips, break out the strawberries... :||
- brian1625, on 04/19/2008, -0/+14Apparently 296+ people haven't seen it before.
It's the nature of the digg algorithm. It's gonna happen. - inactive, on 04/19/2008, -1/+15Phosphoric acid, when excreted, leechs necessary calcium from the body which includes tooth enamel. You may not notice anything now, depending on your specific body chemistry and/or calcium intake.
However, like all biological systems, they tend to degrade with time and certain balances are no longer sustainable and that substance will contribute to loss of bone mass (osteoporosis).
Google Phosphoric acid yourself, consider the sources and trial results and come to your own conclusions. - Jenadae, on 04/19/2008, -0/+13Oddly that actually worked well for me... i stopped after 2 weeks due to the fact that it couldn't possibly be good for my teeth but it does in fact whiten.
- bobartig, on 04/19/2008, -0/+13Right, but which one do they really mean? The article switches half way through.
- schnikies79, on 04/19/2008, -1/+14Malic acid and calcium bicarbonate are chemicals.
- brassrocket, on 04/19/2008, -0/+13As I understand it, the reason that it tastes so gross is because the Sodium Lauryl Sulfate present in many toothpastes takes away your taste buds' ability to detect sweetness. Thus, the sour and bitter notes from the Orange become more pronounced. The more you know.
- squishee, on 04/19/2008, -1/+14Your red face will make your teeth look even whiter! Win/win, I say.
- flink405, on 04/19/2008, -0/+12The article has an error in it:
It says: "Combined with baking SODA, strawberries become a natural tooth-cleanser,...."
Then it says: "You need: 1 ripe strawberry 1/2 teaspoon baking POWDER"
Baking SODA is not the same as Baking POWDER.
Two different things. So which is it - baking soda or baking powder? - Abjure, on 04/19/2008, -1/+13Or brag to your friends whilst knocking things off coffee tables such as lamps.
- dood, on 04/19/2008, -0/+12I'm going to die with off-white teeth.
- inactive, on 04/19/2008, -0/+11yes, digg has ruined all of our lives my friend. You're not alone.
- schnikies79, on 04/19/2008, -1/+12*****, sodium bicarbonate..
someone with a chemistry degree shouldn't make a mistake like that, lol - Csma, on 04/19/2008, -0/+10Dammit, im deathly allergic to strawberries..... I can see it now, "Oh hey mom....what? my face is red? oh...*****...
- emalen, on 04/19/2008, -0/+10So are you supposed to use baking soda or baking powder? Both are mentioned, and those are different things. ???
- satanatnmtedu, on 04/19/2008, -3/+12do you have saliva in your mouth? It is a weak acid.
- lianculta, on 04/19/2008, -1/+10Next Crest Whitening Expressions flavor: Strawberry + Baking Soda
- JaronDiggGuy, on 04/19/2008, -0/+9Buried for 'what-the-frack ever'. Again.
