RE: [100% veg*n ] Vegans do better academically and at sports in school study

That's amazing.

But for the yang to your ying, check out the Canadian governments policy on

milk.

And I quote

http://www.milk.org/nutfaq2.htm#q33

 

" For every 1 gram of protein we eat, we lose only 1 mg of calcium. Milk and

milk products have substantially more calcium than protein. For example, one

250 mL glass of milk contains 315 mg of calcium but only about 9 grams of

protein. Any small losses of calcium which might occur are more than

compensated for. "

The average Canadian consumes the equivalent of about 1.6 to 2 cups of milk

daily, less than what " Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating " recommends.

Almost 1/2 of Canadian women consume less than the recommended 2-4 servings

of Milk and Milk Products.

 

" Inhabitants of Canada don't enjoy the benefit of winter-time vitamin D

production via sunlight. The use of sunscreen when outdoors is a further

impediment to vitamin D production. "

 

" Ice & snow are prevalent in Canada; and slipping and falling increase the

likelihood of hip fractures, a major criterion to express incidence of

osteoporosis. "

 

" The structure of the hip (primarily the femoral neck) is different in

non-whites, especially in Asian women providing a resistance to hip fracture

not found in people of northern European decent. "

 

" People in western countries live longer than those in developing countries,

and a longer lifespan increases the lifelong likelihood of developing

osteoporosis. "

 

-Last time I checked 1 gram equalled a 1000mg. Where's the study this came

from?

That's a possibility. But then we must have been sharp in the first place to

choose a vegan diet!
