Dr Baker is correct in pointing out that the OR should be raised to a power of 8 rather than multiplied by 8 to extrapolate from 1 oz of a beverage to 8 oz of a beverage. This change in no way alters the interpretation of our results, that drinking a glass of milk has a very profound positive effect on calcium intake, and drinking a glass of a carbonated bev erage has a small but nevertheless statistically significant negative effect. In fact, the corrected extrapolations make our point even more strongly.
