My dentist didn't say why carbonated beverages were bad for bones, just
that he'd read that teenagers are getting more broken bones and that
this was attributed to carbonated beverages. When I see my son's
pediatrician next, I may ask for more information on the topic.
re resp:23: John goes to Dr. Rizzo, but he doesn't have evening hours
and so it's not practical for me to go to him as well.

I love Dr. Rizzo. I wish I could find a dentist like him here.

according to this:

phosphoric acid may also be a problem...in addition to the ones already
mentioned.

re resp:25: Brooke, you recommended him to me, which is why John goes
there. I like him too and wish I could go to him myself.

Re #26:
"Men have different beverage consumption patterns," Tucker says. "They drink
more alcohol, and alcohol can be protective of bone in some ways." In
research awaiting publication, Tufts researchers found that beer appears to
protect bone, possibly because of its silicone content.
Woohoo! *belch*

I wouldn't think you'd want beer to contain silicone, nor would it
naturally. Silicon, perhaps, as all natural waters and anything stored in
glass contains some dissolved silicon as orthosilicic acid. There has been
some recent publicity about a study suggesting silicon in the diet
sometimes assists in bone formation, but there is no established RDA for
silicon.

I observe that soda in glass containers is much harder to find than before.

I read a 19th century recipe for carbonated drinks - baking soda to which you
add fruit juice (acidic) to produce carbon dioxide, same as when baking. I
suspect it tastes a bit like baking soda.

Depends on the proportions. If it ends up acidic, it will be sour: if it
ends up alkaline (excess sodium bicarbonate) it will be bitter. People
generally prefer sour to bitter.

I've read that the problem with fragile bones may be a
general lack of vitamin D; it's so bad that rickets is
making a comeback in infants, who usually don't drink pop.
Re #33: People like certain sour tastes because things like
citric acid are indicative of nutrients like vitamin C.

With the concern these days about skin cancer, more people are either
covering up themselves and their children, or using sunscreen.
Unfortunately the same ultraviolet light that causes skin cancer also is
necessary for the skin to produce vitamin D.

yeh, well the combinatin of all 4 is horrid - close to child abuse (imo)-
and genreally *bad* even if yo ar not a child.
pop/soda is teh total bane of nutrition. aside from teh extrodinary cost, the
deletarious effects, over time, ought to make yo sell your coke shares
in protest.

Pop is cheaper than any other beverage except tap water. Even bottled
water is more expensive.

So what is the geographical extent of this? Have 16-20 ounce bottles of
soda been discontiuned nationally? Is this only Ann Arbor/Ypsi? All of
Michigan?

I seem to recall a decent number of people saying "pop" in Seattle,
but maybe I'm just imagining that..
