Teeth

I know some people obsessively brush their teeth on the Master Cleanse, worrying about the acid of the lemons and their teeth. I just read this on MSN, which I would think would apply to the lemondade.

The Acid Bath
On the surface it makes sense: Brush your teeth after breakfast. Problem is, cereal, bananas, and OJ are acidic, and if you eat them and then brush right away, you'll remove some of the temporarily softened tooth enamel. The remedy? Wait 20 minutes before you brush, says David Bartlett, B.D.S., Ph.D., a British expert on dental erosion.
