There is more I have run across on osteoporosis, which is a complication uniquely prevalent in Western countries (where the diet is high on process foods and vegetable oils), and remarkably low in occurence in third world countries! Western diets are high in high glycemic index foods, protein, and processed oils and low in whole grains, magnesium and sea products. Probably all processed oils, both cold pressed and heat processed should be avoided. Research has pointed to the possibility that vegetable oils may have a complicating effect on osteoporosis, which is more a female complaint and may not be entirely genetically driven. Could osteoporosis be related to the lack of a good omega-3 balance in part? Do (did) eskimos on a heritage all meat diet get osteo?
Magnesium may seem to prevent calcium absorption, but strangely enough its activity may help prevent osteoporosis. It, along with strontium may make bone structure stronger. I urge you to research AOR's strontium product which is a supplement aimed at increasing bone mass, with some clinical success claimed.
I know glucosamine sulfate will cause an increase in bone mass. One could experiment with it.
Pay attention to these points as well as the point about supplementation with vitamin D3 and adding magnesium to your diet.
Other nutritional factors are known to participate in bone formation and renewal, such as Vitamin K, Manganese, Folic
Acid, Boron, Vitamin B-6, Zinc, Strontium, Copper, Silicon, and Vitamin C. These can be obtained in a diet of fruit and
vegetables and whole grains, as well as supplementing.
