Is Cola Bad for Your Bones?
Filed under: add to del.icio.us
A study of 2,500 people found that drinking just four cans of regular or diet cola a week led to lower bone mineral density in women regardless of their age or calcium and vitamin D intake. Low bone density increases the risk of osteoporosis, a disease of porous and brittle bones that causes higher susceptibility to bone fractures. An ingredient of cola called phosphoric acid might be responsible for the link, but the mechanism is not fully understood.
