101. Calcium & Osteoporosis - Ask The Dietitian Got questions about Calcium to prevent osteoporosis? Ask Joanne Larsen, RegisteredDietitian and nutrition counselor. Ask the Dietitian, Calcium osteoporosis. http://www.dietitian.com/calcium.html

Osteoporosis I had been on Phen/Fen about a year- just working out to try to get my weight down . I am in excellent heath except for a mysterious leg ache that occurs only at night. I think it could be some kind of vitamin deficiency- can you suggest something? Please reply. In case you haven't heard, Phen / Fen has been found to cause heart valve problems requiring surgery or in some cases death when undiagnosed. These drugs were withdrawn by the FDA in September 1997 after the Mayo Clinic and a doctor in Fargo ND identified the heart valve problems of people on these drugs. I would highly recommend you ask your doctor about this immediately and whether you should be taking these drugs. If you get muscle cramps in your legs (calves especially) at night, your blood may be low in calcium. If you are not eating calcium rich foods on your weight loss diet , I would highly recommend you start eating dairy foods (3 - 4 cups of skim milk per day or 3 - 4 ounces of low fat cheese) or taking calcium supplements - 1,000 mg for adult men and menstruating women (19 to 50 years of age) or 1,200 mg for menopausal women (51+ years of age) per day. I'm wondering whether my kids are getting enough calcium. How much do they need and about how much

Osteoporosis and bone remodeling comments to Click on this key icon to return to the main index page. Please read by Jeffrey S. Malka, M.D., F.A.C.S., F.A.A.O.S. Bones are alive! Bone is a living tissue and as such has the ability to change. In fact it constantly changes in response to a large number of varied influences. Some of these are mechanical. Others are hormonal influences. Still others are genetic, etc. Let's take an example. When an arm or leg is put in a cast, the bones are "at rest" and protected from mechanical stresses. The normal bones in that cast are therefore in a protected environment where they are not being asked to do much. They do not need as much "strength" as they needed before being in the cast. Those normal bones therefore remodel to become weaker (less bone mass). When the cast is removed, those "normal" bones are weaker than normal and are more likely to break than before they went into the cast. Once out of the cast, because of the additional stress placed on that bone, the bone reverses what it did previously and builds more strength and soon is back to it normal strength. In fact bone is in a constant state of change, but, needs

Osteoporosis is where the amount of bone tissue in the body is below what is normal for a person, taking into account their sex and age. Understanding bone structure Bone has a complex structure that achieves the maximum amount of strength for the least amount of weight. It can increase its thickness in areas subjected to repeated heavy loads, repair itself when broken and is the site of manufacture of most of the components of blood (the bone marrow). If you take a typical bone such as the femur (upper leg bone) and cut it across, you will see there is an outer shell of very hard bone. In the middle space it has a honeycomb structure, through which is mingled the bone marrow. Bone is made up mostly of collagen fibres, upon which are laid down crystals made from calcium and phosphate that give bone its ability to withstand compression and bending forces.

"The dairy folks, ever since the 1920s, have been enormously successful in cultivating an environment within virtually all segments of our society—from research and education to public relations and politics—to have us believing that cow's milk and its products are manna from heaven. ... Make no mistake about it; the dairy industry has been virtually in total control of any and all public health information that ever rises to the level of public scrutiny." Dr. T. Colin Campbell Why dairy products won't help you maintain healthy bones Building strong bones and keeping them that way is easier than you may have thought. The dairy pushers pay dietitians, doctors, and researchers to endorse dairy products, spending more than $300 million annually, just at the national level, to retain a market for their products. The dairy industry provides free teaching materials to schools and pays sports stars, celebrities, and politicians to push an agenda based on profit, not public health. Dr. Walter Willett, veteran nutrition researcher at the Harvard School of Public Health, says that calcium consumption via dairy-product intake "has become like a religious crusade," overshadowing true preventive measures such as physical exercise. To hear the dairy industry tell it, if you consume three glasses of milk daily, your bones will be stronger and you will be able to rest assured that osteoporosis is not in your future. Not so. After examining all the available nutritional studies and evidence, Dr. John McDougall concludes: "The primary cause of osteoporosis is the highprotein diet most Americans consume today. As one leading researcher in this area said, 'eating a high-protein diet is like pouring acid rain on your bones.'" Remarkably enough, both clinical and population studies show that milk-drinkers tend to have more bone breaks than people who consume milk infrequently or not at all. For the dairy industry to lull unsuspecting women and children into complacency by telling them to be sure to drink more milk so that their bones will be strong may make good business sense, but it does the consumer a grave disservice.

In simple terms, osteoporosis is a weakening of the bones whereby they become brittle and easily fractured. Osteoporosis mostly affects post-menopausal Caucasian women although all women can be affected. Osteoporosis is less common in men than in women. There are conflicting theories about what causes osteoporosis. It is known that the chronic administration of certain drugs, such as corticosteroids like prednisone, may increase a person's risk of developing osteoporosis. If you are a woman taking prednisone or any steroid medication (including inhaled steroids for asthma or COPD) it is important that you get extra calcium in your diet. Most experts agree that a woman of child-bearing age should ingest 1,000 mg - 1,500 mg of calcium per day to reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis. If you already have osteoporosis it is unlikely that ingesting lots of calcium will reverse the disease. Paget's disease is similar to osteoporosis in that it is characterized by a weakening of the bones. Paget's disease is a metabolic condition that causes bone cells to become weaker and have more blood vessels than normal bone. In Paget's disease the bone's structure is irregular which makes it prone to fracture even after a minor injury.

OSTEOPOROSIS Osteoporosis: No es sólo una preocupación de ancianos de David Fitz-Patrick, M.D., Endocrinología La importancia del calcio recibe atención masificada ahora que la generación del baby-boom llega a la menopausia. Pero la lucha contra la osteoporosis comienza mucho antes de la mediana edad, y es una lucha que vale la pena. El deterioro óseo de la osteoporosis afecta la mitad de las mujeres estadounidenses mayores de 45 años, y al 90% delas mujeres mayores de 90 años. El 80% de los 25 millones de víctimas de la osteoporosis de EE.UU. son mujeres. La osteoporosis aumenta gravemente el riesgo de romperse huesos o sufrir fracturas de compresión espinal que causan dolor de espalda, pérdida de estatura y jorobas. La osteoporosis es la causa de unas 250.000 fracturas de caderas en los EE.UU. cada año, de las cuales un 20% provocan la muestre a través de sus complicaciones, y un 25% de los supervivientes requerirán la asistencia de enfermeros de allí en adelante. Muchas mujeres son inconscientes de que el estado de sus huesos en edades avanzadas está afectado por la ingestión de calcio de su vida hasta el momento. Nuestros huesos, que desprenden y renuevan el calcio a lo largo de la vida, acumulan densidad durante la infancia y la adolescencia. Después, durante el principio de la edad adulta el calcio es depositado y liberado en cantidades iguales. Cuando una mujer llega a los 35 años, comienza a liberarse más calcio del que se acumula, un proceso que se acelera con el declive de la producción de estrógenos en la menopausia.
