Wall Street Journal Best Seller Dr. M's Seven-X Plan for Digestive Health
There has been an ongoing debate on the health effects of consumption of carbonated beverages. Colas contain caffeine and phosphoric acid that can have adverse health consequences.
Dr. Tucker and colleagues from the Tuft University in Boston examined if the cola consumption is associated with bone density in women. They published their findings in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Bone density was measured at the spine and 3 hip sites in 1413 women and 1125 men. Food-frequency questionnaire was used to assess dietary consumption.
Is It Leaky Gut or Leaky Gut Syndrome?
These investigators found that women who drank cola daily had lower bone density than those who did not. Bone density was low whether or not you drank diet cola or regular cola. There was also significant impact of decaffeinated cola although to a lesser degree.
The effect of cola is gender specific. No adverse effect of cola on bone density was seen for men in this study.
It should also be noted that there was no significant impact of non-cola carbonated beverage consumption and bone density.
So ladies, next time you go for your daily cola fizz, think of your bones.
