Sure, there’s nothing quite like soda to go along with that burger and fries you’ve decided to have for lunch. Not unless you care about what you put in your body and what long-term effects it is going to have on your well-being. If you do care about your health and your body, however, take a look at the harmful effects of soda consumption over time.

Real studies show that consuming soda containing phosphorous does not cause bone decay, and effects on tooth enamel are the same as that of consuming any sugar product with the same amount of sugar. Many people think that if a tooth is left in a soda filled jar it will completely dissolve over night. This is a myth. The information presented here is misleading at best. It is obviously not recommended to have a diet that is high in sugars, as it can lead to diabetes and obesity, the effects on the other body parts claimed in this article come from bad evidence and urban myths.

Fascinating and creepy. You need another chart showing the health effects of sodas with artificial sweeteners.

@ Jenni, the article you link to does not say this. It is also disputed by Wikipedia and there is a box above that section that says so. It mentions one study by one doctor on the subject of phosphorus and loss of bone density. One study by one doctor is by no means conclusive.

@Jenni: Why would you argue against a health alert, especially without having done sufficient research? Rather than Wikipedia, try the peer-reviewed Framingham Study.
Tucker, Katherine L., “Colas, but not other carbonated beverages, are associated with low bone mineral density in older women: The Framingham Osteoporosis Study.” American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Oct. 2006. 84(4): 936-42.

How do I get a copy of this poster? I will be representing a non profit business at an upcoming health and wellness expo and would really like to include this on my display. http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Healing-Leaf/190103001004255
