Your comments do not work. Please check and advise. I tried to post following comment: Hi, thanks for writing about some real causes and cures for osteoporosis! You did not mention grain which is highly acid forming in itself. Considering our very very high intake in bread, pasta and breakfast cereals it could well be the main culprit behind increasing bone porosity. Cardiologist William Davis is putting forward a solid case for that in his book Wheat Belly. Since white sugar also is acid forming and fructose even more, green vegetables may be substantially better than fruit to maintain an alkaline balance. Davis also believes osteoarthritis can be caused by high acidity. The joint condition that usually requires hip-replacement(s) could be sorted with a diet moderate in (animal) protein and grains and high in green leafy vegetables. I for one would add olive oil and butter fat to that as I am not a friend of omega-6 oils.
