It is not how much. Its how often or the amount of time your teeth are exposed is more critical than how much. Teeth typically can handle short durations of acidity but hours on end will break them down faster.

There is no healthy soda, but if you must, you should limit your time of exposure. One way to do this is is by having only one soda with your meal. We dont always drink soda, but when we do, we chug a root beer!
