Cola
Phosphoric Acid,
and Bad Bones
Some Interesting
and Educational Sources
For Your Review

- From PBS: For Educators - An excellent in-class lesson plan about soft drinks
- From Dr. Susan Brown, Bone Builders: Problems with pH Go to 'Grab an Un-Cola' halfway down the page
- From a guy in Los Gatos: A Bone To Pick With Cola. This is so simple and understandable, I wish I had written it myself
- From Dr. Judith Valentine, westonaprice.org: Soft Drinks - America's Other Drinking Problem
- From the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest: Liquid Candy (Click on the word 'report' in the second paragraph)
- From Mr. Ken Newkirk's class a few years back: 6th grade science project, phosphoric acid as it affects hardness of tooth enamel. An interesting demonstration of another problem with phosphoric acid.
- From Mayo Clinic Proceedings: Does Consumption of Cola Beverages Cause Bone Fractures in Children? Information about problems with cola has been available for some time now.
- From Katherine L. Tucker, Ph.D., American Society for Bone and Mineral Research. This is the report from 2003 that is finally making headlines in the popular press.
- From Cornell University An incredibly boring slide show (NS341) Human Anatomy and Physiology, Bone/Joint Page Bone lectures #1 and #2 - A basic overview of how bone is remodeled, the role of acid in bone break-down, and collagen structure of bone. Doctors: If you speak with your patients about osteoporosis or osteopenia, you should review this presentation - the answer to bone loss does not lie with drugs, it is the acid that breaks down bones, and quality of the collagen that builds them. Give them a natural approach!
- From MindConnection.com Soft drinks: Unsafe beverages
- From annieappleseedproject.org. A broad variety of other health-related sources
- From Weston A Price Foundation: The Beverage Issue
- From the Journal of Dental Research An abstract that reports the erosive potential (on teeth) was ten-fold higher in cola drinks compared with juices. Phosphoric acid is used to etch (chemically dissolve and roughen) the enamel surface of teeth prior to bonding.
- From Prevention Institute: Nutrition Policy Profiles - Soft drink contracts in schools. An important read, impressive sources
- From the National Kidney Foundation: Phosphorus and your CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) diet
