YUBA CITY, Calif., May 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of National Osteoporosis Month this May, Sunsweet encourages us all to take control of our bone health and share this information with the men and women in our lives. One in two women and up to one in four men age 50 and older will break a bone due to osteoporosis.1 The "silent disease" of osteoporosis affects both men and women alike. In fact, men over age 50 are more likely to break a bone due to osteoporosis than they are to be diagnosed with prostate cancer.2
