10/08/2009 - Green Tea Linked to Healthier Bones
Compounds from green tea may lead to stronger bones by promoting bone formation, while also inhibiting bone resorption, which leads to weakening. A new study looked at three tea compounds called epigallocatechin (EGC), gallocatechin (GC), and gallocatechin gallate (GCG), and found that EGC produced the greatest bone boosting potential. The study is consistent with data from epidemiological studies. Bone mineral density levels have been observed to be 2.8 percent greater in tea drinkers than non-tea drinkers, suggesting the beverage has the potential to aid in the prevention of osteoporosis.

23/04/2009 - Diary products: 25 Reasons to avoid them
In the Western world we believe that milk is good for health: it contains a lot of calcium that is good for bones and proteins to grow. But this dogma is not shared by all health professionals, neither in all countries.In the Eastern world they are not used to drink milk, at least, this habit hasn’t traditionally existed until the dairy industry went there and tried to convince them to do so.
Recently a lot of research has been done to find out about the origin of Western civilization diseases: obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, etc, diseases that have a very low rate in Eastern countries. There are several theories that incriminate the bad quality of our nutrition: too much fat, too much sugar, too much refined food, and a new one: too much milk. Milk is said also to be the cause of respiratory problems in children.
