British scientists have made the following statement: unlimited consumption of such beloved fruits as oranges and lemons can harm the human skeletal system.

Moreover, young women are the first at risk, their bones are more susceptible to the aggressive compounds contained in citrus fruits.. A series of studies, lasting about 22 years, allowed specialists to examine the health status of about 78,000 women. As observations showed, in 778 participants, the condition of bone tissues, including teeth, deteriorated noticeably over this period.. This state of their body is the result of regular consumption of sweet soda..

In addition, the researchers found another curious pattern. Lovers of oranges and lemons, as it turned out, also had problems with bone tissue. It should be noted that a similar picture was typical for all women who consumed fruits with a high fructose content in abundance.. And citrus fruits such as lemons and oranges, due to their popularity among British women, were singled out in the first place..

The analysis showed that cases of inflammation of the bone tissue among women who introduced these fruits into their diet daily appeared 41% more often.. In this regard, scientists recommend that women consume lemons and oranges no more than 2-3 times a week.. Remarkably, this effect was not observed in men..
