Roberta, << My recommendations are to talk with the nearby grocers who handle large quantities of fresh fish, >> Thanks!! Don, << studies that correlated calcium loss with high protein diets used isolated, fractionated animo acids from milk or eggs.........Please produce one citation that shows that "meat" is a cause of calcium loss. >> Thanks for your reply Don. I hadn't intended to imply that it is meat which is the culprit, but excess protein from any source. I would be interested to know which studies you refer to above - I was not aware that only fractionated proteins were used. Love, Liza
