If Kate doesn't mind me hijacking her thread once again - but it was she who first brought the subject up...

Fizzy drinks and calcium is an interesting topic about which there appears to be some differences of opinion. One theory says that the loss of calcium in the bones is due to consumption of sodas rather than milk, another says that it's the caffeine and phosphorus in cola drinks that causes the leaching. I assume that fizzy drinks without these ingredients do not have an effect, but are just as bad for you because of the sugar content. Whatever, it seems that plain carbonated water is OK and may be good for you as some of them contain some calcium. It's not the carbonation that's doing the harm. Pick the bones out of that... (pun intended)
