In the post, Anjali suggested 7 foods including:

  1. Black Coffee: Coffee holds the number 1 spot for foods that stain your teeth.
  2. Tea: It can lead to unsightly teeth stains if had on a regular basis. Avoid black tea and opt for green, white and herbal teas which are healthier.
  3. Red Wine: The acids in wine create rough spots and grooves that discolour teeth.
  4. Colas: Dark sodas, including diet, are harmful to teeth because of their staining colour.
  5. Golas and Slushes: Ice-cold beverages create a perfect plot for food colourants in slushes and golas to cause teeth stains.
  6. Tobacco: Smoking or chewing tobacco causes dark brown or black stains due to coal tar combustion in the tobacco.
  7. Soy Sauce: Flavouring substances like soy sauce can stain the teeth too.
