Women, Cola and Bone Loss

from www.webmd.com

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.

The type of cola, regular, diet or caffeine-free did not appear to make a difference.

There were 1413 women and 1125 men that participated in the study; the men did not show the same loss of bone mineral density as the women.
