In the blank space below, place the reasoning that best connects the evidence to the
claim.
Schools should not sell soda because it can be harmful to students' teeth.
Evidence
Fact: Human teeth soaked in soda for two weeks were significantly more
damaged than those not soaked in soda (Scientific American)
Evidence
Quote: "Soft drinks are generally devoid of calcium and other healthful
nutrients that can help build strong teeth (Harvard School of Public Health)
Reasoning
Drog into one of the empty spots above.
Schools are supposed to protect students from harmful substances, and soda
clearly fits this description.
Soda damages tooth enamel, which is the outermost, visible part of a tooth.
Scientists also found that "citrus-flavored sodas like Mountain Dew and Sprite
[damage teeth] around six times faster than colas," meaning that schools should
be escially cautious about offering these lighter-colored drinks.
