The older generation in Okinawa, who have not adopted a western diet,
are the longest-lived and healthiest people in the world. Okinawans
have about 20% fewer hip fractures than do mainland Japanese, and
Japanese have about 40% fewer hip fractures than Americans.

They don't necessarily have a lower calcium intake - it's just not from
dairy. They get their calcium from vegetables and their drinking water.

I got most of my data from the Bone Density Diet
by George Kessler, and it sure worked for me.

I went from -2.5 to -2.0 following his directions.
I've even spoken with him. And meeting and studies
with my endocrinologist.

I highly recommend that book. Do I need to do a google
search and find backing research? I'd rather people
read the book.
