UNDERSTANDING, PREVENTING & OVERCOMING OSTEOPOROSIS Professor Jane Plant & Gill Tidey
This important book explodes the calcium myth. The orthodox medical view is that there is no single cause of osteoporosis - yet great emphasis is put on the need to fortify oneself with calcium by consuming dairy produce in order to prevent or overcome the condition. However, countries with the highest consumption of dairy produce also have the highest bone fracture rate. Professor Jane Plant and Gill Tidey document scientific evidence showing that dairy produce, especially cheese, is actually damaging to those suffering from bone diseases, including osteoporosis, as it acidifies the body so that calcium is actually leached from the bones. They believe that the key to overcoming and preventing osteoporosis is the alkaline/acidity ratio of our diet, and provide lots of easy-to-follow advice and recipes to make it easy for you to alter your diet.
