Amy Lanou, Ph.D., in SF on June 25 to talk about Building Bone Vitality!

[Guest guest]

She will be answering your questions and talking about her new book, Building

Bone Vitality! This book looks amazing and is getting some great reviews:

 

“This clear, convincing explanation of osteoporosis will change the way the

world thinks about bone health. Lanou and Castleman prove beyond doubt that milk

and dairy are the problem, not the solution. "

—Rory Freedman, coauthor of #1 New York Times best seller Skinny Bitch

 

" The authors have tackled an almost intractable myth: that calcium is the one

and only key to bone vitality. It isn't. Everyone who cares about preventing

osteoporosis should read this book. "

— Dr. T. Colin Campbell, author of The China Study.

Everyone knows how to prevent osteoporosis, right? Drink milk and take a calcium

supplement. Only thing is, this familiar “calcium theory” is wrong—and the

provocative new book, Building Bone Vitality: A Revolutionary Diet Plan to

Prevent Bone Loss and Reverse Osteoporosis (McGraw-Hill, June 2009), explains

why. On Thursday, June 25, at 7 p.m. at the Institute on Aging, nutrition

scientist and co-author Amy Joy Lanou, Ph.D., will debunk myths about milk’s

role in osteoporosis prevention and discuss the best approach to promote bone

health.

 

Lecture attendees will learn why there's no proof of dairy's usefulness. Dr.

Lanou, who co-authored the book with journalist Michael Castleman, argues that

the best approach to osteoporosis prevention, the only one that makes scientific

sense, is a diet very low in or devoid of animal foods and high in fruits and

vegetables, combined with walking or equivalent exercise for 30 to 60 minutes a

day, every day. This approach is based upon the most up-to-date medical

information and the latest clinical studies, including an exhaustive review of

1,200 studies dealing with dietary risk factors for osteoporosis.

 

Dr. Lanou is an assistant professor of health and wellness at the University of

North Carolina. She is the author of Healthy Eating for Life for Children and

has appeared in Time and Newsweek and on National Public Radio.
