Are carbonated drinks bad for your bones? Today, we’re diving into the science behind sodas, carbonated water, and their effects on bone health. You might have heard that carbonation interferes with calcium absorption, but is that true? Let's find out together!

Hi, I’m Sarah—a certified nutritional health coach, 500-hour trained yoga teacher with a focus on osteoporosis, and BoneFit certified fitness instructor. In this video, we’ll explore how different carbonated drinks, like cola and carbonated water, impact bone health, particularly for women.

We’ll look at key research, including a study from Tufts University that found women who drink more cola have lower bone mineral density at the hip. We’ll also discuss why this doesn’t seem to affect men in the same way and why switching to non-cola drinks, like Sprite or carbonated water, could be a healthier option.

Spoiler alert: Carbonation itself isn’t harmful to bones, but what’s in those drinks can be. Tune in to learn more and discover practical tips to make healthier choices.

Make your own soda, take some grated ginger, some lemon juice, a teaspoon of sugar and then a pinch of baking soda.

Thank you so much for the great information. I agree that soda is very addictive. I am trying to avoid colas especially.

I have been drinking gerolsteiner sparkling natural mineral water- I read that it’s a good source of calcium. 1 bottle (750 ml/25.3 fl oz) contains 20% daily value (per the label) of both calcium and magnesium. It’s available at my Trader Joe’s for $2.29/ bottle - not cheap but I don’t drink sodas or alcohol much so it’s my splurge. 🙂

People on dialysis are told not to drink any dark colored cola (excluding root beer) because they contain higher amounts of phosphorous which leaches calcium out of the bones, so this makes sense - except for the part where it just affects the hips and not the spine. Thanks for sharing this information.

Thank you for the information! I I enjoy sparkling water when I don’t want to drink tea too late in the day. Glad to hear the carbonation is not bad for bones!

A couple of decades ago I read about BVO (brominated vegetable oil) being harmful. It was always in the ingredients list in soda in the United States. Recently the United States has decided to ban BVO but Europe did it many years ago. Because I have been without soda for so long I have lost the taste for it. Now I'm glad that I quit.

most sodas are sweetened with high fructose corn syrup, which researchers at Johns Hopkins has studied, and it seems that hfcs acts as a key metabolically to unlock diabetes in the body. while hfcs is particularly bad, sugars in general are "addictive" and generally just not good for the body overall
