Osteoporosis is a disabling epidemic affecting an estimated 20 million Americans. The United States has the highest rate of osteoporotic fractures in the world. Osteoporosis is a common condition that increases with age. 1.3 million people over over 45-years of age experience hip, wrist, and back bone fractures associated with osteoporosis, a condition of excessive bone mass reduction.
The standard American diet of high sodium, high protein, high sugar, soft drinks, caffeinated beverages, and processed foods leads to calcium loss by drawing calcium out of bone tissue to buffer overly acidic conditions.
