<<"Mice fed a high-fat diet for seven months, less than half their life
span,
loss dramatic amounts of minerals from their bones, a team at the University
of California Los Angeles reported.">>


We need to know what kind of fat was used.  Was it a "good" fat like
monounsaturated fat found in real foods or a "bad" fat like hydrogenated
gunk?

If fat was increased, what was decreased: protein or carbs or both?  If
protein was decreased, excess insulin might be expected from the
*relatively* higher levels of carbs.  In this case, are the researchers
measuring bone loss from fat or bone loss from hyperinsulinemia?
