Subject: [WSFA] Exploring a Low-Acid Diet for Bone Health
Reply-To: WSFA members <WSFAlist at KeithLynch.net>

Excerpt:
The science of osteoporosis and its resultant fractures has long been pla=
gued
by some vexing observations. Why, for example, are osteoporotic fractures=

relatively rare in Asian countries like Japan, where people live as long =
or
longer than Americans and consume almost no calcium-rich dairy products? =
Why,
in Western countries that consume the most dairy foods, are rates of
osteoporotic fractures among the highest in the world? And why has no
consistent link been found between the amount of calcium people consume a=
nd
protection against osteoporosis?

An alternative theory of bone health may =97 or may not =97 explain these=
 apparent
contradictions. It is the theory of low-acid eating, a diet laden with fr=
uits
and vegetables but relatively low in acid-producing protein and moderate =
in
cereal grains.

Meanwhile, for more than a dozen years, I've been asking folks what they =
drink
that *isn't* acid. Remember, milk has lactic acid.

Therefore, the obvious conclusion: drink more bheer!
