Well..some researchers said that there's a connection between the intake of some foods and beverages(especially carbonated and rich in caffein) that impede the proper calcium absorb of the body..They claim for example that coffee literally rob your body of Calcium..I am not convinced that is true..I think that everything taken with moderance could not damage too much our health..

actuallly its not a wives tale the reason is: the distilled water they use to make the carbonated beverage has a negative charge that every time somthing positive it "grabs" it and ironically most minerals are postivly charged so it takes the minerals out of your body

No, but they have a very mildly corrosive effect on your teeth, as doall acidic drinks like fruit juice. Some carbonated drinks contain phosphoric acid which is a bit harder on teeth than the CO2, but again it's only a very mild effect.

No, but drink a glass of milk with it just to be sure
