Hi,
Coca cola is a calorie rich soda, known to cause weight gain and reduce absorption of certain essential vitamins.
Osteoarthritis is commonly caused by weight gain and traumatic injury to the joint. Coca cola indirectly leads onto reduced calcium absorption, poor nutrition (due to mal-absorption or reduced calorie intake) and increased weight gain.
However you can try knee support, physiotherapy, passive exercises to improve muscle strength and good joint support around the affected joint.
If you have any further queries, happy to help again.
