This data was not obtained by Cordain but quoted by Cordain and I'm
not sure
he cited all neccesary information to hunt the study down.  I think
this
general idea has a lot to do with Cordain's emphasis on watching how
much
protein you do eat, that too much is a bad thing.  Still, even with
the
acidic residue of protein in the mix, Americans are clearly more at
risk for
osteoporosis; just look at how many elderly Americans have it.

I'll ask around and see if I can get some more info on this study.
I'd like
to see it myself.
