In summary it appears we have blamed the wrong crystal:
it’s not salt, but sugar that presents a greater risk factor for osteoporosis.
The overconsumption of dietary sugar has the potential to increase the risk of osteoporosis by:
a) increasing the urinary excretion of both calcium and magnesium,
b) reducing the intestinal absorption of calcium by lowering the levels of active vitamin D, and
c) impairing bone formation by reducing osteoblast proliferation and increasing osteoclast activation as well as lactic acid production.
