There was a film circulating on the Internet in which a fish was put into cola and after a month, not only was the flesh corroded, but even the bones of the fish were not left. Therefore, people believe that drinking cola will “corrode” the bones and cause osteoporosis. Is this statement correct? Osteoporosis is actually a systemic metabolic bone disease caused by reduced bone mass and degeneration of bone microstructure, resulting in reduced bone strength and increased brittleness. Excluding uncontrollable factors such as age, gender and family genetics, the main causes of damage to bones leading to osteoporosis are insufficient calcium intake, insufficient light, insufficient exercise, etc. The popular theory is that cola contains phosphorus, and if the body consumes too much phosphorus, it is likely to affect the intake, absorption and precipitation of calcium, further leading to our osteoporosis. But in reality, how much phosphorus is contained in the cola we drink? According to the Chinese Nutrition Society, the recommended daily intake of phosphorus for an adult is 700-750mg, which is equivalent to 12 cans of 330ml Coke; the limit intake is 3500mg, which is equivalent to 62 cans of 330ml Coke. This shows that the phosphorus content in cola is not high, and moderate consumption of cola does not affect the body’s calcium absorption, and it will not lead to bone damage. However, the sugar content of cola is very high and should be consumed as little as possible. Osteoporosis is caused by the disruption of the balance of bone metabolism, and there are many risk factors, including age, genetics, hormones, lifestyle habits, etc. What we can do is early detection and prevention. It is recommended that we should ensure calcium intake and comprehensive nutrition, moderate vitamin D supplementation, and try to maintain a good lifestyle and exercise habits. It is also a good way to prevent osteoporosis by going out for a walk and getting some sunshine.
