No big surprise, since osteoporosis is mainly caused by wrong nutrition.
A Swiss consumer health magazine recently reported that the high consumption
of phosphoric acid, in soft-drinks such as Coke, has caused a true epidemic
of osteoporosis (the phosphoric acid leaks calcium out of bones). Another
factor is meat consumption, leading to chronic acidosis with a similar effect.
A study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health found a dose-response
relationship between Coca-Cola consumption and the likelihood of breaking
bones. There are kids who break bones from simple falls, because they have
consumed 3 litres of Coke per day.
