Calcium Robbers Hans Diehl, Dr.H.Sc., M.P.H., shares in the Lifeline Health Letter, 1996 issue, what actually robs our bodies of calcium:
"Animal Protein. The higher the intake of meat, eggs, and dairy, the higher the rate of osteoporosis-related hip fractures despite high calcium intake. Diets high in animal protein force calcium to be excreted from the body, and that calcium is taken from the bones. Extensive data [shows] how diets high in animal protein cause calcium to be lost consistently leading to negative calcium balance... Diets with meat produce greater calcium losses than vegetarian diets, and lacto- ovovegetarian diets produce greater calcium losses than vegan diets. "Phosphorus. Diets high in phosphorus relative to calcium intake cause calcium losses. Most meats are quite high in phosphorus. But also be aware of soda drinks. Many of them contain phosphoric acid (commercially used for edging glass), which pulls calcium out of your bones. "High Sodium Intake. Most Americans consume about 15 grams of salt [per day]; that's 15 times more than required. The sodium in salt greatly increases the calcium losses; thus it contributes to osteoporosis. "Lack of Exercise.Exercise. . . will not only slow calcium loss, but it can actually increase bone density, even in older people." |
