I've been told by a medical student that one of main accelerators of bone
loss is Phosphoric Acid in dark colas. Is this true? It sounds legitimate.
Phosphoric Acid binds free and maybe even complexed calcium in bloodstream
and is excreted. Bone calcium is taken away to replenish lost calcium for
use in the heart and muscles, etc.

Please let me know!

The most common cause of bone loss is poor nutrition and a sedentary
lifestyle.......

Shut up and worship the iron. ;-)

For the record, I rarely drink colas.
They are one of the worst things in the world
you can consume.
