Do soda drinks slow down bone healing?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unknown: Studies have shown that people who drink a lot of soda have lower bone density (osteoporosis). However, the studies on osteoporosis and fracture/bone healing have not shown definitely slowed healing - more studies will be needed to answer this question.
