 ABC News: Cola Causes Bone Loss
Some women drink diet cola to help keep the weight off, but a new study suggests that drinking diet, regular and decaffeinated cola can actually lower bone density and put women at increased risk for osteoporosis.
Cola drinks — such as Pepsi-Cola or Coca-Cola — seem to increase that risk, according to research published in today's American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
The link between cola consumption and women's bone loss was unaffected by age, menopausal status, cigarettes, alcohol, or total calcium and vitamin D intake.

Coke to launch mid-calorie cola in Japan, U.S. ATLANTA (Reuters) — Coca-Cola (KO) will launch a new mid-calorie version of its flagship cola brand in Japan, followed by the United States this summer, the world's largest soft drink maker said Monday.
Although the introduction of a mid-calorie cola appears to make sense in a market where low-carbohydrate diets have become the rage, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo must ensure that new drinks do not cut into sales of their flagship cola and diet cola brands.
That did not appear to happen in 2002 when Coca-Cola introduced a vanilla-flavored cola drink, which proved to be a success with consumers and helped boost sales in key markets.
