Making Bone Broth?

Eating meat makes your body lose calcium (through urination) and causes your bones to become weak. The reason this doesn't happen to animals (in the wild) is because they eat the bones as well.

Does anyone out there make bone broth. I read you're supposed to boil up the bones but add vinegar to the boiling water to etract the bone marrow, is this true?

Does anyone make bone broth?
How do you use it? in foods/meals etc?
Can anyone recommend some good bone broth recipes?


I read a good one on Walter Last's website, this is it.....

BONE BROTH
Use the soft bones of fowl, or bones and heads of fish. Add one or several tablespoons of vinegar, depending on the amount of bones you have. Simmer with sufficient water in a covered non-metal container for at least 3 hours, or until the bones become brittle and the liquid is nearly neutral. With larger quantities and longer cooking time you may repeatedly add more water and vinegar. Alternatively, use a pressure cooker for 30 minutes, but without adding acid. When the bones have become soft, blend it all, strain (optional) and freeze in ice cube trays. Use some of the broth frequently with meals; especially add it to vegetable salads - it is an excellent source of gelatin, calcium and other minerals.


....So bone broth is full of calcium. But is it not true that calcium cannot be absorbed without Vitamin D. So I suppose the best thing to do would be to have bone broth and then go out and sit in the sun for a bit. Or eat it with Vitamin D rich foods (eggs, liver etc)

Does anyone have any input, thanks very much.
