The Bottom Line

Soda may be delicious, but it comes at a hidden cost—your bones.

If you’re drinking soda daily, especially colas, you may be putting yourself at risk for serious bone health issues down the line.

The good news? You don’t have to sacrifice flavor to make healthier choices. Swap out your soda for mineral-rich, natural drinks that nourish your bones instead of breaking them down.

Your future self (and your skeleton) will thank you.

The World Health Organization (WHO) and numerous health agencies recommend limiting soda intake to occasional consumption, if at all, due to its link to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and poor bone health.
