Osteoporosis is a disease of the bone. A drug used to treat the condition could lengthen life by five years, scientists say
............Lead gradually accumulates in the body from petrol and paint on walls and is stored in the bones for decades.
But when the bones break down (in old age)and it is released into the bloodstream it can be harmful and has been linked to high blood pressure, kidney disease and memory loss.
Fluoride as well?

According to "Fluoride in Drinking Water: A Scientific Review of EPA's Standards (2006)" - Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology (BEST)
http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=11571&page=1
"Fluoride incorporation into the crystalline structure of bone mineral occurs with the creation of a form of apatite known as fluoroapatite (or fluorapatite).
[...]
Acidification of the mineral matrix by the osteoclast is sufficient to solubilize the fluoroapatite and allow free exchange with extracellular fluid"
------------
According to http://www.drkaslow.com/html/osteoporosis.htm
"Osteoporosis can occur when osteoclasts dissolve more bone than what the osteoblasts are able to replace."

Seems to be answering 'Yes' to your question, doesn't it?
