Re: Calcium Supplements Do not Build Strong Bones.

been there done that,
I agree with you..........

"that the bone density problems that are now so popular are a modern problem because physical exertion has become less of a part of daily life, but also because of a medication and processed food way of living (especially now with aspartame, MSG, etc.)

Sorry, but I strongly disagree with...............

"the Vegan fad, etc. (absence of dairy) also contributes to the loss of bone density".

"Calcium is an essential mineral. According to Dr. Neal Barnard, president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, "Milk, in particular, is poor insurance against bone breaks ....the healthiest calcium sources are green leafy vegetables and legumes. ... You don't need to eat huge servings of vegetables or beans to get enough calcium, but do include both in your regular menu planning."
