Eat for Bone Health

Ask the average American how to build strong bones and
he would probably say, "Drink milk." That replys dependability
is thanks to the millions of dollars poured into the "Got
Milk?" campaign, which features photos of celebrities with milk
"mustaches"—as though they lap up the stuff like cats.
In her book, Lanou and coauthor Michael Castleman highlight
data suggesting that dairy consumption does not reduce
fracture rates. In fact, fracture rates are higher in countries where
dairy consumption is high, such as Norway and the United
States. In many parts of the world—including those with relatively
low fracture rates, such as Asia and Africa—humans don't
drink milk once they've been weaned.
