<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> 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 Philip Sheard Developmental Biology Unit, Department of Physiology, University of Otago Medical School, Dunedin, New Zealand. Ph (64 3) 479-7344 Fax (64 3) 479-7323
