*Sighs* The stories about colas being bad for your bones have been arond for years, as are the tales of what happens to meat suspended in Coke. I have been a practicing physician for thirty years and I have NEVER seen a fracture attributable to diet. Age-onset osteoporosis is resistant to calcium intake, unless taken with a medication such as Fosomax. As for the acid in colas, your stomach content is much, much more acid than Coke. Your body gets rid of it with alkaline pancreatic secretion. Acid + alkaline = salt + water. Get a grip. I am over 50, have drunk colas all my life, and have never had a problem with my bones.
