5.0 out of 5 stars Should be required reading for parents, March 27, 2009
By 
Beach Runner (Nothern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bone Density Program: 6 Weeks to Strong Bones and a Healthy Body (Paperback)
George Kessler clearly explains how the bones grow, what they need
and what is bad for them. It includes our lifetime building new bone
and getting rid of old bones.

The most important thing is that most of the future of one's bones are based on childhood, where many parents are doing the worst things possible.

For example, children that drink soda with phosphoric acid confuses the bodies analysis of blood stream levels of the calcium, and leaches calcium from the bones. It is horrifying when there are children drinking lots of this junk food.

He reviews international bone health and demonstrates that milk is not
especially good for bone density. Studies of children in the US that drink a lot of milk show better bone health, but I suspect it's the wrong variable being measured, as these children drink less soda.
But Asians, that have eaten traditional Asian diets without dairy have a low incidence of osteoporosis.

He offers healthy foods and exercises.

The book is also filled with many great recipes that are both healthy
and promote bone health. These are examples of gourmet Californian cooking.

Please note that there are new findings questioning the use of
Fosamax and similar drugs, as they cause problems healing dental surgery
and the incidence of cancer of the esophagus is much higher than originally thought. Pills are not a great solution. These new studies are not included.
