Drinking cola can cause weak bones, study reveals

DRINKING cola could lead to weaker bones, experts have said.

A US study found that drinking just four cans of regular or diet cola a week led to lower bone density in women — a condition which increases the risk of osteoporosis.

Experts from the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Centre analysed questionnaires and bone mineral density measurements at the spine and three different hip sites of more than 2,500 people aged just under 60.
