Guest guest Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 I just want to tell everyone the good news. I just had my bone density tested and it is normal! I'm in my 50s and I've been on a mostly vegan diet for about 7 years. I was very worried about getting oseoporosis since I have every all the risk factors, and I was skeptical about being on a vegan diet. I have also recently recovered from a serious illness and was underweight and anemic for months. I think a vegan diet really made the difference. Have a good day.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Wonderful news, Suzanne! I believe that a vegan diet is one of the most bone-friendly diets there is. Since excess protein leeches off calcium. . ..you've found the answer! Good for you! LaDonna >>>I just want to tell everyone the good news. I just had my bone density tested and it is normal!

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 I had one a several years ago and they said I had the bones of someone 25 years younger than I am. I believe I was 65 at the time and have all the risk factors as well. - Suzanne Romey Friday, October 24, 2003 11:33 AM Re: Vegan diet and bone density I just want to tell everyone the good news.
