Cola beverage reduces risk of lead poisoning from accidental ingestion of contaminated soil particles in rat and swine models by Xiaoyun Xu, Quan Qian, Yao Shi, Wenfeng Huang, Chengpeng Yuan, Lena Q. Ma, Willie G. Harris, Jiayin Dai, Deyi Hou, Xinde Cao

“…This cola-induced reduction in Pb bioaccessibility and bioavailability was attributed to the rich phosphoric acid content in cola, which promoted the formation of insoluble Pb phosphate precipitate (pyromorphite [Pb5(PO4)3Cl]) during the gastric phase. The precipitate was directly excreted in feces, resulting in lower Pb absorption in the blood. …”

“…The bone-related parameters of mice were evaluated by micro-CT analysis. We found that radiation can damage the DNA of osteoblasts; induce apoptosis; reduce the differentiation, migration, and adhesion of osteoblasts, leading to lipogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and reducing the source of osteoblasts; and increase the number of osteoclasts in bone tissue, while MSC treatment prevents these changes. …”
