blahIf the huge concern about purging is that stomach acid rots your teeth, shouldn't people also be getting warnings about consuming too much vinegar or lemon/lime juice? I know that when I purge, I also a) drink a ton of water beforehand to hopefully dilute some of the acid and b) rinse my mouth out afterwards. I never do that when eating pickles or making stir-fry (I use lemon or lime juice to stirfry veggies in, in lieu of oil). So which is hurting my teeth more? The throwing up, or the 'sensible' eating habits/crutches I try to use to prevent myself from doing that?
