AAP: Too much soda can lead to weaker bones in children

The American Academy of Pediatrics says drinking too much soda can lead to weaker bones in children.

AAP recommends calcium, vitamin D and exercise are needed to develop strong bones in childhood and to help prevent a brittle bone condition like osteoporosis later in life.

According to researchers, nearly 25 percent of high school students drink soda every day, leading to a lower intake of milk and calcium.
