The bone doesn't break but deforms due to non-mineralization. It is often referred to as "rickets" or "English desease" as it was quite common in Britain at the late 19th and early 20th century. <br /><br />These days it's fairly common in underdeveloped areas in Asia, especially in women - the result of consumption of overprocessed white rice and (non-voluntairy) low-fat dietary habits: they can't afford healthy fats and meats, which leads to a lack of vitamin A, D, and calcium. That's also why this condition is often observed in vegetarians.<br /><br />Osteoporosis is brittleness of the skeletal bonestructure: the best prevention and remedy against this condition is a high-protein, high-fat diet, as bone density- and strength are known to increase on such diets.Science4u1959https://www.blogger.com/profile/14032931049767819624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-10537940536743840762006-12-17T23:49:00.000-05:002006-12-17T23:49:00.000-05:00What's osteomalcia?What's osteomalcia?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390991269990163088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-57889613094524302452006-12-17T23:48:00.000-05:002006-12-17T23:48:00.000-05:00So a low-caloprie diet doesn't lead to bone loss i...So a low-caloprie diet doesn't lead to bone loss if exercise is involved. Interesting.<br /><br />I do take a supplement because I eat very little dairy these days and am not meeting my calcium requirements through diet alone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390991269990163088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-23139879814657523772006-12-14T10:01:00.000-05:002006-12-14T10:01:00.000-05:00Precisely... low-fat milk is the worst choice one ...Precisely... low-fat milk is the worst choice one can make. Indeed the presence of adequate dietary fat is extremely important for the body to be able to absorb the nutrients. <br /><br />In Australia they used to remove <i>all</i> fat from milk and they replaced it with vegetable oil... an even more disastrous approach. <br /><br />The best and most healthy milk is REAL milk... that is raw, unpasturized, creamy full-fat milk. Unfortunately, only in California raw milk is legal, the rest of the states, in their magnificent stupidity, have outlawed it.Science4u1959https://www.blogger.com/profile/14032931049767819624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-459824265250537602006-12-14T07:03:00.000-05:002006-12-14T07:03:00.000-05:00I remember reading (a couple decades ago) that the...I remember reading (a couple decades ago) that the only time calcium can be absorbed is in the presence of dietary fat. And yet "the authorities" are still convinced that low fat milk is just as good (or better) for you as whole milk, and passing this information on to everyone as if it's gospel.<br /><br />Wake up people, why do you think God packaged milk with it's own supply of fat? Because you need it in order to absorb the nutrients in the rest of the milk, duh!Caliannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00055882170095208056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-20722687071850797812006-12-13T22:11:00.000-05:002006-12-13T22:11:00.000-05:00Again, the anthropological record clearly supports...Again, the anthropological record clearly supports this. Studies have shown that populations on low carb, high fat/high protein diets (the natural diet) to have excellent bone density and strength. <br /><br />Contrary to popular belief and media myths, it's not (only) calcium that prevents from osteoporosis. The condition of osteoporosis is primarily caused by a lack of protein, the only macronutrient the body cannot synthesize - and this is why the liberal intake of high-quality proteins is very important. <br /><br />Remember that a lack of calcium causes osteomalacia, <i>not</i> osteoporosis - another common misconception.Science4u1959https://www.blogger.com/profile/14032931049767819624noreply@blogger.com
