Re: Article: Dripping yogurt reduces calcium

[Guest guest]

Holly,

Very interesting!

I have Osteopenia.. I drip my yogurt.

Besides dairy what else is calcium rich?

I remember reading something a few years ago that humans have a hard time

utilizing the actual calcium in dairy..

Does this ring a bell for anyone?

That's pretty scary, because I get most of my calcium from yogurt and cheese. I

can't do the calcium rich veggies yet, so I better up the calcium supplements!

Like Jodi, I have osteopenia.

Just make sure you're taking the supplements separately from dairy or meat

products.

I remember reading something a few years ago that humans have a hard time utilizing the actual calcium in dairy..I read something somewhere that eating a lot of dairy actually depletes the bones of calcium. Since dairy is acidic, it makes the body's pH go lower, and to try to make it higher, the body will take alkaline minerals, including calcium, from the bones. Not sure if this actually happens in everyone, but this made me think of it. Pour Dieu, pour terre,Alyssa 15UC April 2008, diagnosed Sept 2008SCD June 2009 (restarted)20mg Prednisone 1x daily ugh

Just like how the dairy websites say that milk & cheese are the best way to get

calcium? ::shrugs:: Do your own research and decide what sounds right. The

science behind the protein/calcium absorption made sense to me and I noticed a

huge difference when I changed how I was getting calcium....most especially in

terms of pain. I had a LOT less of it - woohoo!

Stacey,

I have read this too quite a few times over the years. One of my docs that

advocated more of an Atkins/Gluten Free diet for me (this was obviously not

enough for me I needed the SCD) explained this to me too. There is also some

data out there about Calcium supplementation not being absorbed as well.

The info is super convincing.. I just don't have the greatest memory so it sure

would be nice to be refreshed instead of having yet another thing to research!

But why use low-fat yogurt? Regular (made with ½ and ½ is

better, better for you, tastes better, and has less lactose to begin with.

Hi n,

I am not Holly.. and I know you aren't specifically talking about this;

But some people have issues eating Fats. It's not a one size fits all kind of

thing. My Gallbladder is perfectly healthy too. There is a thought that I may

have biliary sludge due to years of CD and bad diet. Not sure.

I get triggered if I eat cow fat but am ok with Goat and Sheep fat.

Fat in soups, marrow bones and fat from meat aka saturated fats make me feel

sick as well. If I eat a little too much bacon (sugar and nitrate free, pan

fried until totally crispy) I feel awful.

I have to watch my fat intake. Interestingly, coconut oil (although saturated

but saturated fat from a plant source is different than an animal source)

avocado do not bother me. I still must limit these things but can easily eat

guacamole and add coconut oil to my smoothies. Also some fatty fish don't

bother me at all.

Personally, I eat whole and half & half cow yogurt. However, I know a lot of

people eat goat yogurt, and there is a significant amount of liquid that drips

out of it. If tossing the liquid from cow yogurt (although the article didn't

actually mention what the source of the yogurt was, I'm assuming it was probably

cow) loses a lot of the calcium, it would stand to reason that the same could

apply to goat yogurt.

Well, actually, if I had the teeth for it, I'd be getting my calcium and

minerals the same way my dachshunds do -- by eating raw, meaty

bones.

But I'm afraid my early training calls for cooked meat, and cooked bones

are harder to chew.
