Katherine L. Tucker and colleagues of Tufts University in Boston found that women who drank cola daily had lower bone mineral density; this can lead to osteoporosis. Women who suffer from osteoporosis run a high risk of hip fractures which may lead to disabilities. It is not uncommon for there to be complications from the hip fractures which can result in death.
