...Lonsdale story is that his dietary message could be spot on. Periodontal disease is rife in cats and dogs, affecting 85% of those over three years old. Further, the A.V.A. acknowledges that a diet of mainly "soft foods" could "favor development" of periodontal disease and recommends giving bones at least once a week. A.V.A. national president Dr. Norm Blackman says that while Lonsdale's e-mail was "mischievous in the extreme . . . Tom has contributed quite a lot to veterinary science." Others go further. "I believe he's a visionary," says Dr. Richard Malik, the veterinary specialist at the University...
...Like a Spartan in Ancient Greece, she never, ever surrenders or loses sight of the target."

It's still not clear whether homocysteine actually causes bone loss (although there are hints that it may prevent key building blocks of bone from bonding together). And that means that doctors don't know for sure whether lowering your homocysteine level can actually reduce your chances of getting a hip fracture. They also don't yet know how much folic acid and vitamin B are needed to protect bone...
