DEMOLISHES THE MILK MYTH!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Appleton's well-documented yet reader-friendly book shows that maintaining healthy bones is not based merely on ingesting dairy products, despite what the billboards proclaim. In fact, she shows us that excess dairy consumption can actually CAUSE osteoporosis. Since I can't eat dairy foods, I found much reassurance in her book. For a long time I wondered why the heavy milk and cheese eaters I have known seemed to lose their teeth, bow their backs, and break their hips in spite of all the calcium they had consumed. Appleton explains that there are other factors which cause osteoporosis which we don't hear about in the mainstream press, such as excess protein, sodium, and sugar. I've been following her suggestions for about a year, and my forty-seven-year-old bones and joints are feeling very good these days.
Homeostasis key to Osteoporosis
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Your bones are more than your calcium/magnesium balance. This book takes the mystery out of understanding why the body loses calcium and how we can reverse the problem without massive doses of minerals. The key is understanding how our diet and lifestyle damages our bodies efforts to stay in balance, homeostasis. I read the older edition of this book and maybe it has improved in the area of recipies and nutrition but the theory is great. If the new edition has the latest nutrition information about glyconutritionals and biochemical balance then I would up the grade to five stars.
