Did you know that Cola can lead to a decrease of calcium in the body?

I didn't know this. I just found out that drinking Cola every day is bad for our bones. I have this bad habit. I drink half of glass of Cola every day. I became addicted to it. I like the taste a lot, but I thought that drinking a very low amount won't affect me. I started to have symptoms that affect me. I feel like I don't have enough calcium in my body. I ate yogurt and cheese, but drinking Cola affected me. Because of depression I don't have many joys and drinking it was a joy for me. I have to give up on this too. Do you drink soft drinks?

you can take calcium supplements and maybe decrese Cola intake like, not every day. don't be discouraged by this, enjoy your leisure time like you did

I've never gotten hooked on sodas . . . for me the bubbles in the carbonation hurt my throat. Oh yes, do be careful with soft drinks . . . they are high in sugar and other chemicals. My friend used to drink too many cans of Coke . . . he had diabetes running in his family - and sure enough he ended up with it.

You can find something wrong with most things. Half a glass of cola is not going to cause you a lot of trouble. People who drink cola like I used to are the ones who need to worry. Of everything you eat and drink, if half a glass a day gives you joy, drink the cola. Getting calcium in other foods will more than make up for it.

It's true, I tend to find something wrong with many things. I think that most things have drawbacks too. I have an issue with my bones even if I am a young person. I have osteopenia. My therapist told me the same you said. He thinks that I should continue drinking it if it's such a low amount.

I had no idea but I do know that Cola can be very bad with the sugar content.

Its my addiction too, I drink 2 cans a day and I am working towards taking a day break in-between. The taste of soda is just too good.
