Re: Calcium Supplements Do not Build Strong Bones.
This is true to an extent.....Osteoporosis does not just depend on how much calcium you consume. Just as Chrisb1 has stated, studies find no evidence that taking calcium no matter how high the dosage will actually reduce bone fractures. The key to maintaining strong bones is in exercise and Particularly diet, but the truth is that you have to understand homeostasis to be able to understand why Osteoporosis occurs, when we consume excessive amounts of Animal proteins(high in the SAD), our blood becomes acidic, this is proven fact (please refer to my research paper below). in order for your body to keep your blood PH at a stightly alkaline PH, it dissolves Calcium from your bones, this enters the blood stream and neutralizes your blood's acidic PH caused by the Animal Proteins. the calcium is then filtered through your kidneys and is lost in your urine....so the truth is, you don't need to consume calcium pills, because it is not how much calcium you consume, it is how much you lose in your urine! because of excessive Animal Protein intake.
also, Milk does not build strong bones, it is liquid animal protein. It also increases Cancer risks, that why the U.S. has highest rates of Osteoporosis, and we drink some of the highest amounts of milk. Milk does not build strong bones! it actually does the opposite..causes calcium loss!
I have research this, and it is easily understood.
please refer to my technical research paper below on Milk consumption:

also I recommend everyone to check out Neal, Barnard M.D.
