OT Diet coke vs vitamins/prescriptions
Everyone should have their vit D level checked. Mine was low and I took a
mega dose to boost it back to normal and now take a suppliment (1000mg) every day. -- Kathyl (KJ) remove "nospam" before mchsi And to have moderate exposure to the sun, not sunbathing but just gentle exposure, Vitamin D is made through the skin. Also enough Magnesium in the diet, Remember those leafy green veg Marion in Nitten |

OT Diet coke vs vitamins/prescriptions
It isn't on the ingredient list. Cola list it. There is citrus acid but is
that the same in effects? I don't know. It has been my understanding that cola is the worst for you. Might give you some other options if you 'have' to have the bubbles. Taria "KJ" wrote in message news:a8Ddm.811482$yE1.32922@attbi_s21... They don't contain caffeine...but I would guess they still have the phosphoric acids...I think that's part of the fizz of soda. -- Kathyl (KJ) remove "nospam" before mchsi http://community.webshots.com/user/kathylquiltz "Taria" wrote in message ... Clear sodas and root beer don't. Not sure if what they have is bad too but they are different than colas. I keep unsweetened de-caf iced tea around and almost everyone can drink that. I hate dealing with the recycling of cans and bottles. Taria "Musicmaker" wrote in message ... I hope this isn't a totally discouraging interjection, but I have to mention something I've learned about ALL sodas that contain phosphoric acids or some form... Phosphoric acid combines in the digestive system with any calcium it finds, and binds tightly to it, making the calcium unavailable to the body. Since calcium is needed in many important functions, when there is no calcium in the diet, the body gets the needed calcium from its storehouse of the mineral -- the bones. Bones are constantly being built up and torn down by cells called osteoblasts and osteoclasts. The former store calcium in the bones, and the latter mine the bones for calcium when it is needed elsewhere. The other bummer is that caffeine steals calcium too. Having been diagnosed with osteopenia of the spine (pre-osteoporosis) I've given up sodas with p. acid. I've only managed to reduce my coffee intake. Just a head's up - since bone density is a BIG DEAL for all women esp. Musicmaker |

OT Diet coke vs vitamins/prescriptions
Ask your pharmacist!
Donna in SW Idaho "Leslie& The Furbabies in MO." wrote in message ... This ng has an amazing amount of knowledge available and I haven't been successful in my internet searches for an answer, so I come to y'all- once again- for answers. A friend told me that any prescription medicines or vitamins that I take with a swig of my much-loved Diet Cherry Coke are a waste. She claims the Coke will cause my body to not absorb them or the Coke will 'destroy or breakdown the meds/vitamins or some such. I really didn't pay much attention since I didn't want to hear that stuff. (She lectures me on the dangers of any diet drink.) Does anybody know if this has any truth to it or not? Or any ideas on what or how I can search to find out for certain? And, please, no lectures on drinking Diet Cherry Coke- it's one of the small pleasures I have left. ;-) Leslie & The Furbabies in MO. |

OT Diet coke vs vitamins/prescriptions
The fizz comes from dissolved carbon dioxide. (Nothing to do with
phosphoric acid.) It's under pressure in the bottle/ can, and the bubbles start to fizz and evaporate on opening. Which is why it eventually goes flat. I like fizzy water mixed with just about any fruit juice = spritzer. I live in beer country. Lots of the larger breweries also make bottled soda drinks, using the excess carbon dioxide generated in the brewing process. How's that for recycling!

Good pick up Taria. I've cut back on the colas in order to have fewer
drinks that stain my teeth. (But I haven't given up coffee or tea...notice I only said "fewer".) I have switched to the de-caf version of both coffee and tea.

Taking vitamin D + calcium has good and bad. Good is I have the prettiest
nails in the Swamp except, of course for the gators. Boy! can they ever grow nails. The bad is I have to have my toenails trimmed by Yogi's groomer when they being to clack on the new floors. Polly "KJ" Everyone should have their vit D level checked. Mine was low and I took a mega dose to boost it back to normal and now take a suppliment (1000mg) every day. |

OT Tea vs vitamins/prescriptions
I never heard that. My dad doesn't drink coffee and has
been a tea drinker since his war years in India. He is going to be 85 in Nov. and pretty darned healthy for his age. His method is staying away from doctors. I doubt he has ever been anemic in his life. Maybe the kind of tea makes a difference? Think we could get a grant funded to quilt and drink tea? TAria "Polly Esther" wrote in message ... Tea v. iron?
