Is phosphorus not for us?

A study suggests that the phosphoric acid in soda might be really bad for us:

Is it true? Is it important? No idea - but I wanted to share. Phosphoric acid is found in all kinds of sodas, including diet sodas - Diet Coke and Diet Dr. Pepper - tonic water, and maybe even some kinds of plain, unflavored soda water. We may have to find a new mixer for our highballs!
