High
Sugar Diet Harmful to Bones of Young
"A high sucrose 'table sugar] diet may induce alterations in
calcium balance in humans...", is but one of a series of previous
studies implicating the dangers of excessive sugar consumption. In a
newer report in the Journal Of Nutrition*, scientists tested young
animals on a low-fat diet since previous studies often
were done with high-fat diets.
They found that it was the sucrose that caused a weakness in breaking
strength of bones. Also mentioned was that their previous studies had
found weakness in teeth, as had many other researchers before them.
