Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 Hi gang, My sister in law recently told me that plain old carbonation, as in seltzer water, can hinder your body's ability to absorb calcium. Has anyone seen any research or articles about this? I have a very hard time drinking plain water, and LOVE my seltzer. I worry about osteoperosis, and am very dismayed that the only calcium citrate I can find is in a two-ton pill, which I KNOW I won't take faithfully. Thanks for the help. - Alice A. (who's pms-ing, feeling fat, and wondering why at 5'4, and 155# I'm still a snug size 14. My waist has always been disproportionately large. *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has > anyone seen any research or articles about this? Calcium interacts with magnesium, zinc, fiber and oxalates. Caffeine, Alcohol, Phosphates, sodium and sugar increase calcium excretion. Aluminum containing antacids ultimately lead to an increase in bone breakdown and calcium excretion. is there phosphates in the seltzer water? that is why soda is a no-no. I don't see any other info in the nutritional encyclopedia about calcium and carbonation. sue [swVA, where it flurried all day and is colder than you can imagine] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 OK, FINALLY an answer about carbonation that makes sense! I never thought much of that " soda will stretch your pouch " stuff, but this I can buy!

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 Yeah, I always believed that I will BURP, so the gas won't blow me up. Now, sure, gurgling on down, it makes me uncomfy. But that's just one of those things written BY someone who doesn't live with this. Pouch stretching occurs, but that isn't the reason! But I still hate the carbonation vs calcium rule. I like my bubbles, but I spose I like my bones more.
