A dentist once told me that Dr Pepper contains the bacteria, lactobacilli, that also causes cavities. does it?

I am unable to find this any where online or on any labels of Dr Pepper and we all know that not every ingredient is listed on the nutrition labels. So i am looking to see if this is true and where i can find this information. It is for my fifth grade daughters social studies project.

Lactobacilii are the bacteria found in yogurt, not soda. They are what make the milk thicken and sour into yogurt, and are also found in your digestive tract. If your dentist told you that he was either pulling your leg or mistaken. Sodas do, however, contain acids that are damaging to tooth enamel, as well as that they are a strong sugar solution that hurts enamel because you practically bathe your teeth in it when you drink a soda. Diet sodas, however, do not damage your teeth as much because they don't contain sugar.
Reply:1st answer = reliable but you can still drink soda without ruining your teeth...just use a straw.
Reply:I dont think its true. Dr. Peper is too acidic for any life form to survive in it, there is no oxygen in the bottle or can, only carbon dioxide, so i dont think its true.
Reply:I've never heard of that, but pop is acidic and can weaken the enamel of teeth making them more vulnerable to cavities.
