Yes, Pepsi and Coke both contain Phosphoric Acid as does Dr. Pepper.

Cola consumption (but not that of other sodas) has been linked to reduction of bone mineral density in women (Framingham Osteoporosis study), and phosphoric acid, (a cola ingredient missing in other sodas) is a prime suspect:

"The problem appears to be increased levels of phosphoric acid, which can interfere with bone absorption. A typical can of cola contains 44 to 62 mg of phosphoric acid per 12 ounce serving, and diet cola contains 27 to 39 mg."
