Is soda bad for bones?

Question

Is soda bad for bones?

Answer 1

Yes its terrible.  My mom teaches classes on osteoporosis and all she has been telling me since I was younger is "soda leaches calcium from your bones."  The acid in soda is the enemy of calcium so the best thing to do is just stay away from carbonated drinks.  

Answer 2

it is just bad in general.  try tea and water as a substitute.

Answer 3

yes it is.

Answer 4

Phosphoric acid doesn't let you absorb calcium and can weaken your bones.  Take a calcium suplement and drink vitamin D milk.  Vitamin D helps you absorb calcium or better yet limit the soda its just sugar!

Answer 5

Yes, phosphoric acid is in colas in particular (which is bad)

Answer 6

Answer 7

There isn't anything about soda that is good for you.  It's bad for your teeth, bones, weight, you name if.  Best to stay away from it.
