 No Coke for woman
Women who want to keep their bones strong should minimise their cola consumption, a new study suggests.
In a study of more than 2500 adults,Dr Katherine L. Tucker
of Tufts University in Boston and colleagues found women who consumed cloa daily had lower bone mineral density in their hips than those who drank less than one serving of cola a month.
Because BMD is strongly linked with fracture rsik and cola is a popular beerage this is of considerable public health importance, they wrote in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrtion.
previous stdies in teen girls have tied heavy soft drink consumption to fractures and lower because they're drinking less milk or if it is due to any harmful effects of soft drinks itself.
While there was no association between soft drinks in general and BWD, the reserachers found that women who drank the most cola had significantly less dense bones in their hips. the greater their intake, the thinner the bones. the relationship was seen for diet, regular and decaffeinated colas.
Cola consumption had no effect on BMD in men.  To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. |
