Hello everyone, I am a avid Coke drinker here for a few years and recently, I went for some 'bone mass scan' and the result astonished me - the doctor warn me about my decreasing bone mass. I am wondering if this is due to too much Coke consumption. Does anyone in the MyLot community who drink Coke extensively? Have you notice any strange things or feelings happening to your health ? Thanks for sharing.

I dink alot of Coke, I think I'm adicted to it. But my health has gone down from drinking to much. Coke has so much acid that my stomach gets upset now when I drink it, the doc says its eating away at my stomach. I get bad headachs if I dont have one. I get a energy rush but a crash afterwords. I drink one a week now and that one taste good. I have also lost weight just cutting out the sugar and caffeen from it. And my stomachs feeling much bettter and my headachs are gone. So be careful from all that coke you need to drink something good with it. ~WiteNgtOwl

Hello WiteNgtOwl, Thanks for letting me know that Coke can actually eat away our stomach and can potentially cause stomach upset - I didn't know about it at all. I will be more mindful about my coke consumption in the future.

Drinkin Coke does not influence your bone mass at all. Decreasing bone masses come with age, but I have a feeling that you are a young chap. my advice: drink more milk and eat more dairy products. also spinace has a lot of calcium in it. that will restrengthen your bones. anyway, drinking too much coke is not good for your health either. too much sugar.

Alright, thanks for your advise. Maybe I will switch to Coke-Zero instead since it is sugar free and still taste almost the same as a regular Coke, haha. I shall modify my tap to release milk instead of water! (Just joking)

I have heard something like that! It is very acidic. I have drank it often and for a long time. I have also drank diet coke. It is good to get enough bone-strengthening exercise like jumping rope. If milk helps increase our bone density when we are young, then I think there may be something to this after all! Acidic foods are corrosive. I drank two liters a day at times. If you drink it when you are young, like under 25, it certainly can mess with your health. Do not hesitate to ask your doctor why he thinks it is happening.

Hello Oliveman, Thanks for your response. I will certainly do more bone-strengthening exercise from today onwards. If my current condition allows me to. Maybe it is time to make a switch to milk and fruit juice. Yours Truly, Deltasswat18

It is good to do so you prevent further damage. I think it is similar to the therapies available for osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis? I didn't know that Coke can cause that, I will read up more on it. Thanks.
