I'm used to drinking tons of Diet Mountain Dew every day.

Since we just covered how increased serum phosphate draws calcium out of bone, what can I switch to? Is there a low phosphorus cola? Does coffee have a lot?

Help! I dont wanna be a 25 year old man with osteoporosis!🙂

(that part was a joke for all you SDNers who take every written word as law)

...Maybe I could start taking alendronate..then I could drink all the soda I want!

Or take calcium pills? That's what I'd do, if I wanted to drink lots of sweet, delicious cola.
