Discussion of diet soda continues #3

To review, drinking diet soda is believed to contribute to increased risk of stroke or heart attack and make a person’s belly fat.  What else does diet soda do?  According to WebMD, many soft drinks contain phosphoric acid which robs a person’s bones of calcium, increasing the risk of osteoporosis.  http://www.webmd.com/osteoporosis/living-with-osteoporosis-7/diet-dangers?page=2  

WebMD staff recommend calcium rich drinks (for those dealing with osteoporosis) such as
calcium fortified orange juice, fat-free milk (white or chocolate), mix a seltzer or club soda that’s phosphoric acid free with orange juice or a fruit smoothie.
