In reviewing information provided by the National Osteoporosis Foundation ( http://www.nof.org), there is no indication that carbonation affects bone loss. There has been research that suggests that excessive consumption of caffeine may increase bone loss and, therefore, increase risk of osteoporosis. Many carbonated beverages contain moderate levels of caffeine, so consuming large amounts of them may increase risk of osteoporosis.
