Soft drinks: tough on teeth and bones

Are teens who prefer sugary soft drink to milk more at risk for osteoporosis? 

It’s a well-known fact that soft drinks are a huge risk for tooth decay. Researchers are saying that excessive consumption of soft drink is a risk factor for early osteoporosis.

When the body becomes overly acidic, calcium is ‘stolen’ from the bones to restore the pH balance.

And teens also fail to get enough bone-building nutrients by giving milk the thumbs-down. 

So have a think about what you drink for stronger teeth and bones.
