Today my sister told me that milk is bad for the enamel on your teeth and that if you drink milk before you go to bed you should then brush you teeth. Is there any truth in this?

I have heard that about babies and their milk... but I'm not sure if it's true about regular vitamin d milk.

I don't think so since i've seen many healthy people with good teeth drink milk before they go to sleep and after they brush their teeth

Well you should always brush your teeth before bed, regardless of what you eat or drink. I'm not sure as to whether or not milk can harm your teeth, but pay heed to this : the calcium found in milk is very hard for your body to absorb-and I'm not vegan so please don't think I'm try to convert you....:>

Studies have found that drinking milk and eating cheeses, especially cheddars, with or after a meal can help increase the pH level of your mouth (for us non-scientists out there, this means that it will lower the acidity level) thereby limiting the damage that certain foods can do to your enamel.

I believe the calcium in the milk would be good for your teeth.

Yes, if you drink from the original container. The cow might not like you biting its utter. That might not be good for your teeth.
