According to research by New York biologist Michael Hansen, it takes less than a milligram of infected material to contract the disease. "This is a critical example of our failure to have...
...study of more than 36,000 healthy postmenopausal women determined that taking a standard calcium-and-vitamin-D supplement for seven years had no significant effect for most of them on preventing fractures in the spine, arms and hips, although it did lead to a 1% improvement in hip-bone density. Yet women who managed to take the vitamin-mineral combo at least four days out of five had a statistically significant 29% fewer hip fractures. And women over 60 suffered 21% fewer broken hips. A companion study found no beneficial effect on the rate of colorectal cancer. But those...

That dynamism enables us to sculpt and reshape the skeleton to respond to changing physical needs. If you are predisposed to osteoporosis, taking preventive action can help ensure that the bone-building forces prevail...
