high protein diet INCREASES bone density
 

In the presence of calcium intake, a new study says that high protein diets actually improve bone density in older adults, not the commonly-cited opposite.

Linked from mercola's current newsletter, and here's the abstract

Thanks for the link razzle, I hadn't seen anything other than a review. :thup:

For the Reuter's review of the article, and related postings on protein/ bone mass ... check here.

I think it's so important that people be aware that all the scare stories of how eating protein will harm your kidneys and leach the calcium from your bones .. is FALSE!!!
