Osteoporosis

[Sally PB]

excessive sugar consumption increases urinary calcium excretion.

I don't eat a lot of sugar. (Honey is a different subject...) I have noticed that when I have a candy bar, I tend to pee a lot the next day. I just assumed it was my body trying to get rid of the sugar, since I don't eat much of it. I never thought about what else might be excreted in the urine.

Interesting...

this site told me what the numbers on a DEXA scan mean. I'll pay more attention to what the person who does the scan tells me next time I have one. Which I think is later this summer...? I'll ask at my next physical.

I think honey doesn't cause any of the problems sugar does except, maybe, too much means too many calories if one doesn't move enough to burn them.

This article says:

Osteoclasts are the cells responsible for resorbing old or damaged bone mass.

Osteoblasts create and deposit new bone mass

Osteocytes are the most common type of bone cell, but their function was unknown until recently; scientists thought they were merely a passive placeholder in the structure of bone.

Now it is known that osteocytes sense mechanical pressure on bones and receive hormonal messages about bone quality.

In response, they produce and release compounds that prompt the development and action of osteoblasts and osteoclasts.

They also release compounds into the bloodstream to send instructions to distant organs

The above is copy pasted from portions of the Save the Bones article linked above then tweaked a bit for readability

Vitamin K does more than help with vitamin D. The linked article explains and gives some foods that provide it.
