Thank you, Latidjah, for the quick response. Unfortunately or fortunately
I am taking
MG supplements, but 5 years ago my DEXA scan showed osteopenia and I think
I am getting worse. I should be getting plenty of amino acids, I think, by
eating
meat and dairy, and I take a cod liver oil supplement, but there must be
something else going on in the menopausal body that causes the lack of CA
absorption that I am not aware of, and I sure the doctors don't understand
either,
except to use HRT or Fosamax, etc.
Mary Enig said it was normal for high cholesterol during
menopause, which I agree, but my grandmother had osteoporosis and died
of a stroke and it seems I am following her health path but have been
unable
to find a doctor that doesn't want me to start eating a more vegetarian
diet
and start taking Fosamax.
I will check the web page out that you recommended, but I am tired
of fighting with doctors. My mother is built big, never been a vegetarian,
never took hormones, never had a mammogram, and is very healthy at 70,
except for bone loss.

Have a ncie day.
