Hi, for those of you interested in the recent discussion on osteoporosis,
the folowing is a quote from Dr Murray's relayed notes from the Celiac
conference in Finland. This excerpt was included in the notes from meeting
day 1:
"Dr. Bai, (sorry, don't know from where) described effects of the
GF diet on bone density. Patients showed marked improvement in
bone density with the GF diet, although it did not return to
normal. The improvement was better in the spine than in the hip
and better in the hip than elsewhere. Dr. Bai went on to say that
premenopausal women did better than postmenopausal women."
Best wishes,
Phil
