Cola consumption may create lower bone density in women

According to the October issue of the American College of Clinical Nutrition, cola intake is associated with significantly lower Bone Mineral Density at each hip site, but not the spine, in women but not in men. The mean Bone Mineral Density of those with daily cola intake was 3.7% lower at the femoral neck and 5.4% lower at Ward's area than of those who consumed <1 serving cola/mo.Similar results were seen for diet cola. The study was conducted on 1413 women and 1125 men in the Framingham Osteoporosis Study by using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.

Bonnie - wow...is this a long time coming! I have said for so many years how excess acid contributes to osteoporosis. There is no substance more acidic to bone than cola!
