09 Dec 2019 --- Extra sugar added to holiday treats can – both directly and indirectly – affect bone health. This is according to the US Institute for Better Bone Health (IBBH), which affirms that high blood sugar is linked to osteoporosis, weakened collagen and increased calcium excretion. Moreover, consumers are especially prone to replace nourishing foods with sugary ones during the holiday season. The IBBH advocates for moderation in holiday treat consumption, as well as omitting extra high-sugar foods during the holidays to ensure a well-balanced diet and general wellbeing.
