Drinking cola may weaken women's bones
Women who want to keep their bones strong may want to keep
their cola consumption to a minimum, a new study suggests.
In a study of more than 2,500 adults, Dr Katherine L Tucker of
Tufts University in Boston and colleagues found that women
who consumed cola daily had lower bone mineral density (BMD)
in their hips than those who drank less than one serving of cola
a month.
"Because BMD is strongly linked with fracture risk, and because
cola is a popular beverage, this is of considerable public health
importance," the authors write in the American Journal
of Clinical Nutrition.
Studies in teen girls have tied heavy soft drink consumption
to fractures and lower BMD, the researchers note.
Cola contains phosphoric acid, the researchers note,
which impairs calcium absorption and increases excretion of the mineral.
Cola consumption had no effect on BMD in men.
