Summary

Increasing bone mass during puberty can ultimately decrease the risk of developing osteoporosis, which causes bones to weaken and break more easily later in life. The purpose of this study is to compare calcium absorption and bone growth in boys and girls on diets including either a nondigestible oligosaccharide (NDO) or simple sugar.
