It depends on the acidity of the fruit content ( if any )

Well, there are several reasons that soda is bad for your teeth. The biggest problem is the sugar, but its closely followed by the carbonation. So, while Coke Zero isn't nearly as bad for your teeth as regular soft drinks, the carbonation and acidity in it will still harm them. But, you can still drink them as long as you make sure that you brush your teeth soon afterwards.

Oh yes.
Instead of sugar and acid attacking your teeth, it's sweetener attacking your brain and acid attacking your teeth.
All fizzy soft drinks are bad news.
This is a bummer for me as I'm hooked on them...

It is not just the sugar in soft drinks that corrode teeth, it's also the acids in them. The acids in softdrinks are almost a bigger problem than sugar. Original Coca cola can disolve a nail after about a week.

Sugar free soft drinks are the worst thing possible!
Take a look at what Aspartame does to you. That chemical causes all sorts of problems.
It should be banned.

Most soft drinks contian some kind of sugar/sweetener so if you like to drink them, it is best drunk through a straw so it spends very little time on your teeth.

Even though the sugar free drinks do not have sugar in them, the acid content can be damaging to the enamel on the teeth.

DEFINATELY! its not so much the sugar in the drinks as the carbonic acid thats in them, although the sugar does play a part. Acid is a HUGE cause of fillings, use a anti acid erosion toothpaste if you're worried

Many of them contain acids that can damage tooth enamel. Ever tried leaving a tarnished penny in a glass of Diet Coke for a few hours?
