Soda's Silent Attack: How Sweet Drinks Weaken Your Bones

Daily soda drinkers have a 4.69 times higher fracture risk compared to non-drinkers; even one to two sodas weekly increase the risk

Soft drinks disrupt calcium-phosphorus balance through phosphoric acid, forcing calcium release from bones even when dietary calcium intake is adequate

Diet sodas cause more bone damage than regular sodas, significantly lowering calcium and vitamin D levels and increasing bone breakdown markers

The damage to bones happens gradually and silently until fractures occur, making prevention through dietary changes essential

Reversing bone damage requires a comprehensive approach: eliminating all sodas, including diet versions, prioritizing mineral-rich whole foods, getting sunlight exposure for vitamin D and incorporating strength training exercises
