Guest guest Posted June 13, 2002 Report Share Posted June 13, 2002 Bob : We have several people (Like Dean P.) who have meticulous diets and still have develped osteopenia. Although perhaps you are right in saying that I used the word osteoporosis rather than osteopenia. However these are very young people; Dean is in his 30's, I believe. The brain " fuzziness " issue is very subjective of course and much harder to quantify. But both are related medically to low testosterone levels. (Which makes me wonder if moderate CR is the better way to go???) Dean, I believe has a record of how many and which CRONIES are osteopenic. The number and ages are statistically significant. (Although it's true that some, like me, can;t blame CR and have other factors involved which complicate the cause). The issue is far from resolved . Some of our most intelligent CRONIES (like Rae) seem to think that osteopenia is caused by CR . on 6/13/2002 12:46 AM, papilio28570 at papilio28570@... wrote: > From what I have gleaned in previous posts to both groups, wasn't > the osteoporosis related to low protein vegatarian diets prior to > people going on CR? > > crsociety/message/20099 > > Also, I know there have been reports of osteopenia (bone mass > loss) as a results of CR but no osteoporosis as a result of CR. > > crsociety/message/21095 > > The mental acumen issue seems to be related to too low of a protein > and fat CR regimen vs. carbohydrates. > > http://groups.,com/group/crsociety/message/19784 > > Bob > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Francesca, It is unfortunate that this issue is far from resolved because it is of such importance to all of us CRONies. 's assessment that it is logical to expect bone mass loss along with body fat and muscle mass losses seems most logical to me. If that be the case, then loss of bone mass would be acceptable to me under a CRON regemin since it is osteopenia rather than osteoporosis. But it would seem under this scenario that bone mass loss would cease after one has reached their CR weight. Though Dean and others have experienced osteopenia since going on CRON, does their bone mass loss cease now that they are in the CR zone?
