Is bubble tea bad for you?

Question

I drink tapioca bubble tea once or twice a week. is that unhealthy for you're teeth?

Answer 1

the sugar is bad for your teeth but not as bad as anything else. wait at least 30 minutes before brushing your teeth after drinking one because the sugar eats away the enamel on a microscopic level and the enamel is still in your saliva so if you brush your teeth you lose all the enamel in  your spit that couldve been replaced on your teeth :] good luck

Answer 2

i like it :D

it's gooood.

but it's rather high in sugar. you will get caivities only depending how long he sugar stays on your teeth. so brush well and twice a day :D for that minty taste in your mouth.

Answer 3

It's as bad for you as the sugar in it is. Really, it's not nearly as bad as soda. If you like it, then make sure that you don't have way too much other sugary stuff. So don't also have a lot of soda (which is horrendous for teeth), but as long as you make sure that you don't have tons of other sugary things, it shouldn't be ^.^ Bubble tea is yummy ^.^

Answer 4

I've never heard of it....is it tasty??

Answer 5

Bubble tea is okay, it's not like a horrid drink.  can't imagine any adverse side affects but it is high in sugar...

BTW for people reading this bubble tea is a type of novelty drink from Asia it is usually cold and sweet with tapioca "bubbles" in it. (bubbles= small balls)

Answer 6

It depends on how you ask for it made. The powder kind has a lot of sugar in it because the condensed milk has a bit of sugar in it as well as the spoonfuls of sugar going into the drink.

If you're talking about the kind where they make it with the syrup, it's not nearly as high in sugar content, but still pretty bad b/c of the sugary syrup. After you finish drinking your BBT, wait a while before brushing or chewing gum 'cause the enamel gets eaten away by bacteria and you don't give it a chance to reharden after drinking it. Just limit your drinking of bubble tea to every two or three weeks as a treat. I know, it's hard to cut back because it tastes sooo good~ I love drinking it, but can't afford it as often as before...>.>

Answer 7

It is actually is pretty bad for you, if the place that you are getting it at puts in a lot of sugar in it, but if you ask for less sugar it is sort of okay for you. But as you probably know sugar is pretty bad for your teeth.
