Soft drinks won't cure bone disease
By Lynn Maree Ross
The Coca-Cola company recently announced it would join the fight against osteoporosis by adding calcium to Tab. But two health officials say calcineum added to soft drinks isn't the answer.
Osteoporosis is a condition in which calcium is lost from the bones, maki- nating.
Karen Penner, a food scientist at Kansas State University, said the Coca-Cola company hadn't begun production of the new soft drink would contain 10 percent of the recommended daily allowance of calcium.
Barbara Lukert, endocrinologist at the University of Kansas Medical Center, said a combination of age, low calcium intake, diseases such as diabetes or the use of steroids could cause osteoporosis.
The RDA of calcium is about 1,000 miligrams a day.
"I don't think that's too good an idea," Lukert said.
The first reason, she said, is that soft drinks supplemented with calcium aren't the best way to increase calcium intake. The second reason is that some soft drinks can contribute to calcium loss from bones.
She said she was concerned about calcium being added to soft drinks because advertising soft drinks that are supplemented with calcium could be misleading.
Lukert said people concerned about osteoporosis shouldn't count on soft drinks to increase their calcium levels. Pills that increase calcium levels in the body are available, but they should be used as supplements.
Soft drinks not only have no nutritional value, they can be detrimental, Lukert said. Most cola-flavored soft drinks contain phosphoric acid, a chemical that can cause calcium loss from bones.
The best insurance against osteoporosis is eating foods containing calcium. Lukert said.
For example, she said, three eight ounce glasses of milk, three ounces of cheese or three cartons of yogurt contain enough calcium to satisfy the RDA.
Although some people might think soft drinks are food, Lukert said, they only are empty calories that have no nutritional value.
Lukert said people who drank more than one or two cans of pop every day increased their chances of developing osteoporosis.
