Alcohol can destroy our bones

Alcohol is a disease of the liver, it has consequences in the heart, but it also affects our bones, at least so think specialists. According to a study by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, alcohol consumption can influence the formation of bones in young people. The results have long-term consequences. Long-term alcohol consumption can degrade organs and bones. Alcoholism increases the risk of osteoporosis because it leads to bone loss and bone damage. Scilog notes that bone tissue is affected by excessive alcohol consumption, especially for young people.

People who consume regular and excess alcohol in their youth degrade their bones before they reach maturity. In the experiments, pigs were offered a mixture of alcohol and apple juice based on body mass, twice a week. Another control group received just apple juice. Specialists took blood samples to determine the level of bone and muscle metabolism. In the second stage, the researchers examined the bones of the pigs two months after the experiment.

Pietschmann's findings show that the effects of alcohol consumption frequently can have long-term consequences. .
