It isn't on the ingredient list. Cola list it. There is citrus acid but is that the same in effects? I don't know. It has been my understanding that cola is the worst for you. Might give you some other options if you 'have' to have the bubbles. Taria
Ask your pharmacist!

The fizz comes from dissolved carbon dioxide. (Nothing to do with phosphoric acid.) It's under pressure in the bottle/ can, and the bubbles start to fizz and evaporate on opening. Which is why it eventually goes flat.
I like fizzy water mixed with just about any fruit juice = spritzer.
I live in beer country. Lots of the larger breweries also make bottled soda drinks, using the excess carbon dioxide generated in the brewing process. How's that for recycling! Roberta in D
Ah....good to know Roberta! Thanks for the info. What's your favorite beer?
Good pick up Taria. I've cut back on the colas in order to have fewer drinks that stain my teeth. (But I haven't given up coffee or tea...notice I only said "fewer".) I have switched to the de-caf version of both coffee and tea. Baby steps.
Tea v. iron? Nice nurse at the blood drive was telling a neighbor that drinking lots of tea will make you anemic. I hope this isn't true. Anybody know? Polly
Taking vitamin D + calcium has good and bad. Good is I have the prettiest nails in the Swamp except, of course for the gators. Boy! can they ever grow nails. The bad is I have to have my toenails trimmed by Yogi's groomer when they being to clack on the new floors. Polly
"KJ" Everyone should have their vit D level checked. Mine was low and I took a
I never heard that. My dad doesn't drink coffee and has been a tea drinker since his war years in India. He is going to be 85 in Nov. and pretty darned healthy for his age. His method is staying away from doctors. I doubt he has ever been anemic in his life. Maybe the kind of tea makes a difference? Think we could get a grant funded to quilt and drink tea? TAria
Well darn. It hasn't done anything for my nails.
Taria, I LOVE the way you think. Yes, let's go for it. Polly
Well if that were true we'd all be bloodless here over the pond!

Well. You do look rather pale, you know? Polly

My DD and I gave blood a couple of months ago and there were a couple of people who were "rejected" because their iron was too low and in both of them they admitted to drinking tea within the last 24 hours..
That was my first suggestion via email. Pharmacists usually know more about this kind of thing than doctors, you can get an answer over the phone, and you don't get a bill. ;-)

That's easy... FREE!
I don't, but at least as important as whether it's true is, if so, why? Is it something in the tea, and if so what? Is it the caffeine, or is it just due to the fact that it's a diuretic? Lotsa teas - lotsa variables.

I cut my fingernails and toenails at least once a week. And they are very strong nails. [shame on me - it's easier to use my fingernail to remove a staple than hunt down the staple puller]

That's odd: here the nurses give you a cup of tea and a biscuit after you have given blood? (At least, so I have been told - I've never had good enough blood!) . In message , Cindy Schmidt writes
