Who Has the Highest Rates of Bone Disease, and Why?
"Countries with the highest rates of osteoporosis,
such as the United States, England, and Sweden,
consume the most milk."
Nutrition Action Healthletter, June, 1993
"Dietary protein increases production of acid in the
blood which can be neutralized by calcium mobilized
from the skeleton."
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1995; 61 (4)
"Even when eating 1,400 mg of calcium daily, one can
lose up to 4% of his or her bone mass each year while
consuming a high-protein diet."
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 1979;32(4)
"Those populations with the highest calcium intakes had
higher fracture rates than those with more modest calcium
intakes."
California Tissue International 1992;50
"Women consuming greater amounts of calcium from dairy
foods had significantly increased risks of hip fractures."
12-year Harvard study of 78,000 women
American Journal of Public Health 1997;87
"Consumption of dairy products, particularly at age 20 years,
were associated with an increased risk of hip fractures...
metabolism of dietary protein causes increased urinary
excretion of calcium."
American Journal of Epidemiology 1994;139
