Soda, does it destroy protein/nutrients?

[Bouncer]

For years people have been talking about how the carbonation in soda destroys protein/nutrients that you eat. This is not about other ingredients in soda, sugar or any of that. This is simply about carbonation and its effects on nutrients. Anyone have any studies or articles? Thanks

I've read somewhere that carbonation speeds up the digestion process and that the protein you eat can be digested too quickly for your body to absorb it. I doubt that though.

Any thing backed by science though? Those articles seem to be more opinion and what they think, the second link especially. I guess I am looking for studies.

There is definitely evidence that carbonated drink interfere with calcium absorption in the body. See reference 6 in the link below.

I know I'm preaching to the choir but if you drink straight water then you don't really have to worry.

I would be more worried about the chemicals and the sugar substitutes that they put in the diet crap

yes i understand all that. i only drink water. i also understand the possible problems with the sugar and sugar substitutes but this thread is not about that. it is about carbonation and its effect on nutrients.

So who are you trying to cconvince? I know if you do find something I'm going to print it out and put it up in my office so I don't have to have the argument anymore, I can just point to it.
