Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 One of the ER docs where I work did osteoporosis research when he was taking his Master's degree. His research showed that there is much more problem with osteoporosis is countries with high milk intake than in countries that do not drink a lot of milk. He explained the whole protein / calcium balance. The higher protein intake you have the more calcium you need because the protein causes you to excrete calcium in your urine. He also talked about how you can get enough calcium from other foods without needing milk. Jacqueline - " Maynard S.
