In an article (I think by Ray Peat PhD) the description of osteoporosis
included both removal of old (petrified?) cells and addition of new cells.
He blames xeno-estrogens and/or pasteurized dairy for the failure of this
process.

I eat my own home-made sauerkraut, so am not concerned about lack of calcium

So long as you have some calcium intake, and don't prevent your digestion from
aborbing it, there should be no need to worry about it.

The example of the Inuit shows that carnivorous diet has adequate calcium.
There are probably many more examples, which leads me to ponder the question
of:
What is blocking proper calcium use in our bodies?

and the answer is: One or more of the ~77,000 man-made chemicals in our
environment.
