Strong Bones and Weak Bones
Look at this * comparison of bones that are "POROUS" vs bones that are solid. Porous means filled with holes, like a sponge. Bones need some small holes to allow blood through but Bone disease makes those normal sized holes very big and makes bones break easily.
BEFORE you go to the tips for prevention, you need to learn some NEW facts. Facts are things that are proven by science to be true.
For years we have heard that milk is good for our bones because of CALCIUM, a mineral that is found in bones. But new information tells us it may not be true.
Did you know that it is a FACT that in every country where people eat a lot of dairy calcium, there is a lot of bone disease? BUT in countries where they eat almost no milk or cheese, they have almost no bone disease.
This article explains that there is a scientifically shown link between eating animal products and having your bones get more porous and break more easily as you age.
What do you think that might mean? Mark your sheet with a question mark next to the tip on calcium if this new information has made you question that advice.
This is a great example of how science is supposed to work. When new information is found, science changes what it teaches us. That is important to do or else you will be stuck using information that is out of date.
It will take more research to find out exactly what is going on but for now you might want to take it easy on that milk and cheese...
