Your Bone Density

Do you think that you know a thing or two about bone density? Are you pretty sure that consuming dairy products has a lot to do with having strong bones?

There is a brand new book that not only challenges these assumptions but will show you that there isn't even any evidence to support them. The book is titled "Building Bone Vitality."

If you've read my book on gluten intolerance then you already know where I stand on the issue of dairy consumption. Frankly, it's all fairly obvious if you just know two simple facts. Do people who consume more dairy have higher bone density? No. Do countries where people don't consume dairy have lower bone density? No.

The myth that dairy consumption is a prerequisite for strong bones is so pervasive and so ingrained into our culture that you'd think that it is one of the few truths of our world. Even doctors believe this, even though it's not taught in medical school. But if you the kind of person that thinks that marketing and advertising has relatively little influence on how you think or what you do, think again.

I highly recommend reading "Building Bone Vitality." It will put you light years ahead of your healthcare practitioner on the subject of strong bones.

Thanks for the recommendation. I just ordered that book through amazon.com for $13.43 inluding shipping. After getting one more lecture from my HMO doc about why I need calcium supplements, because I don't consume dairy, for bone health, I plan to take that book to my annual physical exam appointment. I recently read "The Myth of Osteoporosis" by Gillian Sanson. So I also recommend that book.
