protein and bone loss

by dteresa » Tue Jul 01, 2014 4:10 pm

I have seen from both plant based advocates and high fat and protein advocates that the latest studies show that protein does not leach calcium from the bones but actually makes bones stronger. Is this plant protein they are talking about or has animal protein been vindicated as far as leaching calcium from bones.
