What dietary concerns should be considered if you have osteoporosis?

Several: Hi. Obviously, you need enough calcium and vitamin D. However, you also need to be aware of the toxicity of soda pop (really the dark ones), which contain phosphoric acid. Phosphoric acid prevents intestinal absorption of calcium and presents a metabolic acid load that is bad for bone. Soda pop is poison. This does not apply to barley soda.
