My wife and I have been vegan for a few years now and we are always under attach from our friends and family as if our way of life is threatening there's. when nutrional facts are presented, their years of social programming is challenged. there is a "does not compute look about them". Its sad all this knowledge on veganism coming to the surface and you still see front to back ceiling ads on the bus telling us we are being bad to ourselves and our children if we don't feed them dairy. The theme for these ads is FACT vs. FICTION one. Arrrggg. I am glad that someone else can see through the bs.

Good amounts Magnesium & Vit D are also components of the 'whole picture' - fortunately, greens are high in Mag (esp if organically grown - the phosphate fertilizers interfere with the plant's ability to absorb Magnesium from the soil - home gardeners - add some Epsom Salts to your green gardens!) & eating raw is a great way to be gluten free :) Here's a great article from the 12 part series of issues that might be related to undiagnosed celiac (or gluten sensitivity!) http://celiacnurse.com/musculoskeletal-rickets-osteomalacia-osteopenia-osteoporosis-arthritis-and-myopathies-symptoms-in-undiagnosed-celiac-disease/ Another piece of the puzzle is gluten sensitivity/celiac – trying to get our bodies to digest wheat, & malabsorption of nutrients combine to make it hard for us to build bone!

To complicate matters even more, consumption of dairy has been linked to many cancers, heart disease and diabetes." Do you have any information about which studies these are? I'm curious to read them. “Many studies are showing that osteoporosis is directly tied to an over consumption of animal proteins.

Some say it is more available. I don't have the research on this. But think in this way, maybe you might get a little more of one nutrient but at the expense of many others? I have also heard that to better adsorb the iron you should eat spinach with citrus. I have heard a lot of things :-) I don’t think they actually have “more” iron in them, as cooking wouldn’t create a nutrient. Some say it is more available. I don’t have the research on this.

What do you think about all the conflicting evidence of "cooked" greens and veggies having more iron in them? It's so strange to me??!! What are your thoughts on this? Thanks!

I can't give you any medical advice as I am not a doctor. I would really start searching. There are a lot of articles out there on this from major medical institutions. You could share them with your doctor... I think you should do as much research as you can and get second opinions. I can’t give you any medical advice as I am not a doctor.

The side effects are very conerning. I know it is a synthetic drug; however, my drs have informed me that it will hep me grow bones. What are your thoughts about this? My osteo is Pregnancy related OSTO. I did not have a BMD prior to pregnancy to truly know if this bone loss is caused from pregnancy. However, it is one drs diagnosis.

I was aware of the acidic in animal meat. I have a severe case of osteoporosis. I broke my entire vetebral spine. I have a BMD of -5.0. It is one of the worst cases for a woman my age(46). I hope you can share other research and sources of help for me. I had always believed in dairy and it did not help me. I am looking for any new research on interventions to stop my bone loss.

Most people believe the only way to get calcium is through dairy - little do they know that you don't actually absorb as much as what is actually contained in the milk/yoghurt/etc. My kids have grown up on rice milk and won't even touch cows milk - according to them it is 'yucky milk'! People look at you weirdly when you say you can get calcium from greens and sesame seeds and other plant foods. Meanwhile their health isn't the best and you are glowing! It is also interesting to note that there are lower levels of osteo in lower dairy consuming countries than the countries that eat a lot of animal and dairy products. Great article.
