Question- i have heard that soda/seltzer can damage tooth enamel…does it also affect bone health ? Someone here must know…. I have to avoid soda ever since I got CRC…once in awhile have some Pellegrino … doc said ginger ale okay only if I leave it open to reduce fizz. I think many people avoid dark sugary or fake sugar sodas these days— as we age especially. Body doesn’t process them all that well.

Copied from the internet:
Carbonation itself doesn't harm bones, but ingredients in some carbonated sodas, particularly phosphoric acid in dark colas, can negatively affect bone health by interfering with calcium absorption. Plain carbonated water or sparkling water, which lacks these additives, does not have the same negative impact on bone mineral density. High sugar content in some sodas can also disrupt calcium absorption and contribute to poor bone health.

I had one can of Diet Coke for years and do have moderate osteopenia/ osteoporosis now...
