@@sarahmapes_bonebuildersystem Hey Sarah! Thanks, it’s delicious. I add drops too of selenium, zinc, iodine. It was my Covid recovery drink, but it actually did taste like a soda because of the lemon and soda mix.
Excellent information, önce again appreciate all the time you spend preparing such valuable information to help improve our health safely, have a nice day, Sarah! ❤😂🙏
I have been drinking gerolsteiner sparkling natural mineral water- I read that it’s a good source of calcium. 1 bottle (750 ml/25.3 fl oz) contains 20% daily value (per the label) of both calcium and magnesium. It’s available at my Trader Joe’s for $2.29/ bottle - not cheap but I don’t drink sodas or alcohol much so it’s my splurge. 🙂
Thank you for the information! I I enjoy sparkling water when I don’t want to drink tea too late in the day. Glad to hear the carbonation is not bad for bones!
People on dialysis are told not to drink any dark colored cola (excluding root beer) because they contain higher amounts of phosphorous which leaches calcium out of the bones, so this makes sense - except for the part where it just affects the hips and not the spine. Thanks for sharing this information.
It is interesting that people on dialysis are told that. I appreciate you sharing that with me! It is the weirdest thing ever to think about it just impacting the hips and not the spine... I think we need some follow up research actually. It is interesting to see what comes out of studies and then to think about what needs to be done as follow up after that.
@@sarahmapes_bonebuildersystem I am a nephrologist. I apologize in advance for the long response but I sense you are sincerely interested in learning about this finding. The reason dialysis patients are told to limit dark cola ( or any other beverage or food high in phosphorus including some lemonades/fruit drinks/ some brands of root beer with phosphorus salt additives) is that they may cause hyperphosphatemia (high phosphate levels in the blood). Calcium and phosphorus levels are tightly regulated by the kidneys. The kidneys activate vitamin D to a usable form, and excrete excess dietary phosphate. Healthy kidneys do both. When they can't then calcium levels drop in the blood, phosphorus increases and parathyroid hormone levels (PTH) increase. PTH tries to bring the calcium level back to normal. High phosphorus levels in dialysis patients are associated with many negative effects including increased vascular calcifications, cardiovascular disease and a specific type of renal bone disease due to a secondary effect of high parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. The type of bone disease is the result of the effect of chronically high PTH levels which causes increased bone resorption which will weaken bones. This effect of PTH may confuse some since PTH can also be used to treat osteoporosis. In that setting the PTH is injected in a way that the PTH levels are intermittently high which has a different effect on the bone building cells increasing their activity. This is just one of many examples how wonderfully complex our bodies are designed. I applaud you for covering this subject and not drawing conclusions when findings are mixed. I am not surprised that the dietary studies are not conclusive because dietary recall is known to be inaccurate. But it is possible with multiple large studies we may be able to draw some conclusions about association of diet and a disease but not causation. It is too difficult to control all the factors. As far as the issue of effect of soda consumption on the spine versus femur bone mineral density there are probably more significant factors on BMD in the vertebrae such as the amount of trabecular ( spongy like bone) versus cortical ( harder) bone and the type of loads the vertebrae are subjected to. So if a dietary effect is small ( or even not present) then it would be difficult to show a significant impact relative to the more important factors.
A couple of decades ago I read about BVO (brominated vegetable oil) being harmful. It was always in the ingredients list in soda in the United States. Recently the United States has decided to ban BVO but Europe did it many years ago. Because I have been without soda for so long I have lost the taste for it. Now I'm glad that I quit.
most sodas are sweetened with high fructose corn syrup, which researchers at Johns Hopkins has studied, and it seems that hfcs acts as a key metabolically to unlock diabetes in the body. while hfcs is particularly bad, sugars in general are "addictive" and generally just not good for the body overall
Make your own soda, take some grated ginger, some lemon juice, a teaspoon of sugar and then a pinch of baking soda.
The fresh ginger and lemon juice would have some real zip. I like it!

@@Beautifulbeyond-b4j I need to try it out!

Sparkling water as an afternoon drink sounds like a fun thing to look forward to ❤

Thank you so much for the great information. I agree that soda is very addictive. I am trying to avoid colas especially.
thanks so much for your presentations
I am so glad you are enjoying them ❤
Thank you!You look really nice!

Yes, you made a fabulous choice giving up soda! Way to go ❤

Well said!!! Corn syrup is a topic all on its own... and you are spot on about sugar and how addictive it is❣
Ugg.. and I downed a Diet Coke at lunch 🤦🏻♀️. TY for doing this video! I am a Diet Coke addict. Been trying to work on it!
You are not alone in feeling that way. Keep working on it. Small steps can add up to a big difference over time❤
