you know they say that soda is fine in moderation  but soda has the potential to actually melt your  

bones let’s talk about why well what’s in soda  you have high fructose corn syrup uh there’s  

also soda with just different types of sugar you  have phosphoric acid you have caffeine so let’s  

start with the highest fructose corn syrup what’s  that going to do well it’s going to deplete your  

vitamin d as well as your calcium also it’s going  to cause more calcium dumping from the kidneys now  

you’re also going to get a depletion of magnesium  putting you more at risk for osteoporosis  

magnesium is needed to build bone and it’s  very necessary in the absorption of vitamin d  

now if we have a deficiency in magnesium  that’s going to affect the parathyroid  

and the parathyroid is going to start robbing  calcium from the bone so that’s another mechanism  

then we have this thing called phosphoric acid  why do they put this phosphoric acid in this soda  

well because there’s a tangy flavor to it and  it also prevents mold and bacteria from growing  

because there’s so much sugar in there right  because bacteria yeast mold all live on sugar  

but the problem is phosphoric acid is an acid and  it can increase your risk of getting osteoporosis  

and osteopenia which is a kind of  a milder version of osteoporosis  

phosphoric acid also weakens your  teeth and it decreases the absorption  

of iron and zinc now if you do caffeine with the  soda it leeches calcium from the bone as well so  

so each one of these things is a compounding  effect but other than some of these minor  

complications and these different effects  i think it’s totally healthy to drink so if
