BTW it was my family doctor that suggested low carbing to me to begin with.

I agree LukeA, I think that a diet with adequate fats and proteins lead to healthier bones. I don't think that calcium is as helpful as we might think. Being that I am not a doctor, I don't say anything on that subject. But since I saw the information on a Native American traditional diet, I came to that conclusion.
