Summary:
"Exposes the shocking difficulty of getting an accurate bone density reading and the serious risks of long term use of the most recent osteoporosis medications such as Fosamax, Boniva, and Reclast, which are often handed out automatically based on inaccurate readings. The pros, cons, and serious risks of medications, and a whole-body approach to bone health, which includes discussions of digestive health, diet, supplements, and exercise. Surprising facts about what foods and medicines might hurt bone health and which ones will help in building strong bones. A careful breakdown of calcium supplementation and which kind is best. The book also includes basic bone biology, statistics about bone disease and fractures, how aging affects the bones, comparisons of different fracture-risk assessment procedures, the risks and benefits of drugs and alternative treatments, and even recipes for bone-building meals!"--Provided by publisher.
