Researchers at Tufts University, studying several thousand men and women, found that men who regularly drank cola-based sodas -- three or more a day -- had almost 4% lower bone mineral density in the hip, even though researchers controlled for calcium and vitamin D intake. But women who drank non-cola soft drinks, like Sprite or Mountain Dew, didn't appear to have lower bone density.

Phosphates in high amounts is dangerous, especially if you don't consume much calcium. Then you have high amounts of phosphates and low amount of calcium in your blood. In this situation what happens is that calcium is pulled out of the bones, which can eventually lead to osteoporosis.
