I would like to point out that carbonic acid, or carbonation is simply carbon dioxide. We breathe it out with every breath. The body uses CO2 as part of its mechanism for regulating blood pH. It has no problem dealing with excessive CO2 as long as you are breathing normally. However many sodas, such as cola, contain phosphoric acid. This is an inorganic acid, instead of an organic acid like carbonic acid is, and can totally wreck havoc on your blood ph. Since the body cannot quickly throw it off like CO2, it must neutralize it with an inorganic mineral, the mineral of choice is calcium, which it removes from the bones. This is the real problem with most sodas. Marshall -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
