Some people think meat is good for your bone health and that those who don't eat meat have higher risk of suffering with knee problems!
This however, is incorrect. The average bone loss for a vegetarian woman aged 65 is 18%; for a non-vegetarian woman, it is double that.
Researchers attribute this to the consumption of excess protein. Excess protein interferes with the absorption and retention of calcium, and it prompts the body to excrete calcium. This can cause Osteoporosis.
In addition, animal protein (including milk) makes the blood acidic and to balance it out the body pulls calcium from the bones.
