Acid : Foods that are acidic or are simple carbohydrates that the oral bacteria can convert to acid as a waste product. All soft drinks that are carbonated are acidic. Watch even bottled water. Many are acidic. Citrus fruits are acidic. The acid content causes the enamel to dissolve leading to cavities.
