If only cola's have the worst chemicals, (acid and caffine)
Do you think we can drink, like diet cherry,orange etc. I just hate to give this stuff up. I'm addicted!

Hi, Wish I had good news for you, but if you have osteoporosis, carbonated drinks of any kind or flavor will cause you to loose calcium. If you loose calcium, you loose bone. Sorry, I really enjoy drinking them too, but had to quit since I have been diagnosed with severe osteoporosis. My numbers are -3.7spine, -3.5hips. Sure wish we could drink them, but I want my bone. Hope this helps, and good luck.
