Does drinking soda water lead to osteoporosis? I drink litres of it daily, shoul!
Question:
Does drinking soda water lead to osteoporosis? I drink litres of it daily, should I be worried?
the reason I'm asking is I broke my ulna in Nov '05 and it didn't heal, so I had surgery last July and had a bone graft with a pin & plate, it's only healing really slowly, I'm taking calcium and magnesium tablets daily, but it's still not healed, is it due to the soda water?
I am a very active person and enjoy regular excercise, I eat healthily & don't drink tea or coffee etc.
Any suggestions?
Answers:
Soda water is harmless. If you drink the equivalent of 1 1/2 pints milk a day you don't need calcium and vitamin D supplements as well. The failure of healing is unlikely to be due to osteoporosis anyway. Why not have a chat with your orthopaedic surgeon?
