Make sure your mom gets a bone scan.

From liver problems to bone problems to diabetes, her soda consumption is definitely taking a toll on her body but she won't listen to anyone. She's set in her ways.

I'm 45 years old and have been an avid reader my whole life. I'm trying to remember if I've ever read a assertion with as little evidence offered so emphatically...Nope, I don't think so. The fact of the matter is you don't have the slightest idea if, or to what degree, soda consumption effects any of these symptoms.

Fortunately, the human body has simple nutritional needs and is very resilient. It can thrive under a huge variety of conditions and nutritional inputs. People claiming some potion or nutrient is the key to health are fraudsters or misguided. People claiming any normal food or drink (including soda) is a path to poor health are just as far off. Casual observations of people that live long healthy lives seems to indicate that obsession with nutrition or possible harmful side effects of food and drink isn't what gets you to your 90s. Enjoying every bite and sip may well be, however.
