A recent study showed cola products such as Coke were a problem for osteoporosis for women but the article?

Question:

briefly remarked that the "study did not find that colas affected men similarly." The article said either caffeine or phosphates were the ingredient to blame, and caused bone density problems or prevented bone from forming.

I understand that women seem to be more prone to osteoporosis, but why would the affects of the cola on bones (as experienced by women according to the study) not also apply to men? Is there any difference between the bones in men and women besides the basic amount of bone mass?

Answers:
the problem with women is their hormones, and when they stop producing the female hormones (menopause) it makes them more vulnerable to osteoporosis.Apparently these hormones were helping to regulate bone density, and when we stop producing them we experience vulnerability to osteoporosis. Taking progesterone can help keep this from happening. This coupled with the phosphoric acid in cola products is what makes women higher risk, although men can experience bone loss as well.

bone mass in men is not as dense
much thicker than woman by far well most men
