Q. I drink several cups of my own carbonated beverage throughout the day, which I make from carbonated water, fresh-squeezed lime juice, pomegranate juice and grated ginger. But a friend told me that drinking lots of carbonated water leaches calcium from my bones and will cause osteoporosis. I’ve also heard that carbonated drinks could be bad for my heart. Is this true? – Anonymous
