10.11.2015 0 COMMENTS However, modest bone loss seen with aerobic training by Nancy Walsh Senior Staff Writer, MedPage Today SEATTLE — Older adults who diet and exercise are more likely to experience bone loss if they engage in aerobic training than resistance training, a researcher reported here. After 5 months, bone mineral density (BMD) showed […]
BMJ, 10/07/2015 Tai V, et al. The aim is to determine whether increasing calcium intake from dietary sources affects bone mineral density (BMD) and, if so, whether the effects are similar to those of calcium supplements. Increasing calcium intake from dietary sources or by taking calcium supplements produces small non–progressive increases in BMD, which are […]
Researchers find no evidence that increasing intake will prevent fractures WEDNESDAY, Sept. 30, 2015 (HealthDay News) — Extra calcium may not protect aging bones after all.

Ronald Grisanti D.C., D.A.B.C.O., D.A.C.B.N., M.S. Calcium may well be the world’s most popular nutritional supplement. Osteoporosis has almost nothing to do with a deficiency of calcium. There are several other minerals and trace minerals that are far more important than calcium in reversing osteoporosis. You need to get a clear mental picture of what […]
January 29, 2015 Dr. Neville Wilson Osteoporosis is a serious and potentially debilitating condition, in which human bone fragility can give rise to unsuspecting fractures in vulnerable elderly males and females, with increased risk for morbidity and mortality. The common perception that osteoporosis affects only females is false, and may limit the detection and diagnosis […]

Byberg Osteoporosis International volume 26, pages563–570(2015) Abstract Summary Because kidney dysfunction reduces the ability to excrete dietary acid excess, we hypothesized that underlying kidney function may have confounded the mixed studies linking dietary acid load with the risk of osteoporosis and fractures in the community.
