Ø    Diabetes: We generally believe that diabetes patients are not well enough to take sugary foods. But hidden matter is: everything we consume is turned into sugar in the body. Consequently, we don't need to consume additional sugar because it creates too much sugars for the body to break those down.

But if we go for measuring the strength of the same volume of material, bone is found less dense than steel and it will break long before steel breaks. Bone is specially made by Almighty Allah to support the human so that there can be a balance between strength and lightness. Needless to say, that individual organisms must move it around. So, it can be said that apart from density, bones are incredibly as hard as steel.

Bone Vs Steel? Which is stronger?  Bone.!!
