A report came out from the American Journal of Nutrition this month that looked at 2500 people and found that daily cola (diet OR regular) was associated with lower hip bone density IN WOMEN..it showed NO effect in men.
The theory is that phosphoric acid may prompt the body to pull calcium from the bones...another reason to bail on soda

How about coffee,ice tea,and or green tea?

Great ? but no consistent evidence that caffeine (even though it is known to cause calciuria..or calcium loss in the urine) causes loss of bone density. Phosphoric acid (mentioned above) is used to acidify colas (but not coffee or tea) and give them their "tangy" taste...

Fantastic, Aishy. Thank you. What book did you get this from?

Hi, I'm new here, but concerned and want to do what I can for myself - I drink enough water everyday, but most of it is sparkling - any harm in this?

Why the heck would anyone suffering bone loss want to add caffeine to the mix? I would think that this is the time we want to eat as many fresh picked veggies as possible and get our vitamin C from sunshine, supplements, decent food and learn to forego the crap like cans of soda...just a thought

I love my coffee in the morning and my mug is big at least holds 16 oz and I have about 2 of those in the morning but do not have any after 8 am for the rest of the day

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????
