The study, published in BMJ, says the reason for the increase in death may be because galactose, which kind of sounds like an awesome bad guy from a '90s comic book, but it's not, it's a simple sugar found in milk.
They picked that sugar because of a separate study, where galactose was given to animals and they died faster thanks to oxidative stress and inflammation.
Well, there is a rare birth defect called galactosemia, where babies are born without the enzyme needed to detoxify the galactose in milk.
So they end up with high levels of galactose in their bloodstream, which causes bone loss.
So, a few examples of the many names of sugar on an ingredient list: agave nectar, cane sugar, caramel, corn syrup, evaporated cane juice, fruit juice, galactose, glucose, golden sugar, golden syrup, honey, icing sugar, maltodextrin, maltose, maple syrup, panela sugar, rice syrup, sucrose, turbinado sugar.
