I read somewhere that there is something in sodas that promotes the loss of calsium for bones. Why would that happen?

Answer #1

Carbonation and carbonic acid that have proven to eat away bone mass in studies, but that is just bone and carbonic acid, but in due time that will take a toll on your bones, it does cause loss of Ca2+ because of Acid that neutralizes it, Thas what I would think, Its simple chemistry behind it, Ca2+ being a “metal” is easily eaten away by acid, so even though your bones are not exposed to such high amounts of Carbonic acid, overtime it might slowly affect the bones…….

thats my 2 cents on the situation, hope this helps……..caio
