Lately according to a study, mostly americans love to drink soda more than any other drink,because 25% represents soda that is being traded in the US.
Americans bought 15 billion gallons of soda, or a 12-ounce can per day for each citizen,in the year 2000.
The Internet is loaded with information about the devastating effect of this extremely unhealthy addiction, but in case that is not enough for you, we give you some more information that will open your eyes. At least that is what we hope.
Soda and Osteoporosis
Cola soda includes caffeine and phosphoric acid in its content.
The Framingham Osteoporosis Study tested the bone mineral density (BMD) of 1413 women and 1125 men in 2006 and discovered that the regular consumption of Cola caused a significant reduction of BMD in the hips of female subjects, which are much more susceptible to bone loss when compared than men.
According to several studies, the cause of this phenomenon is excess amounts of phosphorous, which prevents the absorption of calcium. Moreover, experts claim that phosphoric acid in cola leads to a leakage of calcium out of bones.
One other study found that the consumption of 330 mg of caffeine, or four cups of coffee leads to bone loss. It is believed that caffeine interferes with the absorption of calcium and causes loss of calcium through urine.
Very interesting, caffeine is also a neurotoxin.
