Product Description
Once again the National Dairy Council has produced the industry reference on the important role of dairy foods in health. Packed with the latest information from the Council’s notable scientists, the Handbook of Dairy Foods and Nutrition, Third Edition makes the case for the beneficial role of dairy foods in a variety of conditions and disease states.
The handbook begins with a comprehensive overview of the nutritional content and benefits of milk and milk products including cheese and yogurt. The authors explain the effects of dairy intake on cardiovascular health and hypertension. The Dairy Council continues its research review by providing the most up-to-date information on the relationship between dairy intake and colon, breast, and prostate cancers.
An entirely new chapter is devoted to addressing recent research about the role of dairy foods in weight management. Supporting the age-old advice that milk gives you strong bones and teeth, this handbook has chapters examining the evidentiary relationship between dairy intake and bone and dental health. A full chapter addresses the condition of lactose digestion, distinguishing lactose intolerance from lactose maldigestion, as well as providing research-based strategies to improve milk tolerance. A summary of dairy’s contribution to health throughout the life cycle from childhood and adolescence into adulthood and old age, rounds out this latest installment of the Dairy Council’s authoritative reference on the importance of dairy foods in the American diet.
Continuing to provide state-of-the-art information on dairy products and nutrition, the Handbook of Dairy Foods and Nutrition, Third Edition is a useful resource for nutrition scientists, dietitians and other health professionals, educators,  dairy researchers, and the food industry. ... Read more

Product Description

Calcium pills don't work. Dairy products don't strengthen bones. Drugs may be dangerous.

For years, doctors have been telling us to drink milk, eat dairy products, andtake calcium pills to improve our bone vitality. The problem is, they’re wrong.This groundbreaking guide uses the latest clinical studies and the most upto-date medical information to help you strengthen your bones, reduce therisk of fractures, and prevent osteoporosis. You’ll learn why there’s no proof ofcalcium’s effectiveness, despite what doctors say, and why a low-acid diet isthe only effective way to prevent bone loss.

"This clear, convincing explanation of osteoporosis will change the way the world thinks about bone health. Lanou and Castleman prove beyond doubt that milk and dairy are the problem, not the solution."
-Rory Freedman, coauthor of #1 New York Times best seller Skinny Bitch

"The authors have tackled an almost intractable myth: that calcium is the one and only key to bone vitality. It isn't. Everyone who cares about preventing osteoporosis should read this book."
-- Dr. T. Colin Campbell, author of The China Study ... Read more

Major Dietary Changes Required
This book, with a forward by Dr. Dean Ornish, is about making a significant change to most American diets.It may be on target and refers to several studies, but I'd like to see a group such as, Nutrition Action Health Letter, also weigh in on the diet prior to making this radical change in eating habits.If a person decides to follow this low acid diet, accomplished by cutting way back on meat, fish, poultry and cheese, it might be prudent to discuss this with your primary physician and have a bone density test and blood work prior to starting. The book also recommends weight bearing exercise such as, walking, and who could disagree with that exercise?Suggestions for preventing falls are also made.

A comprehensive, evidence based book on maintaining bone health
This book is based on an enormous body of research, the studies vary in their results, and the authors' conclusions are based on the quantity and quality of the data.They emphasize that the end goal is preventing fractures, particularly the most debilitating, hip fractures. The association between bone mineral density (BMD) measurement and fracture risk is not linear, but depends on many factors which the book describes.
The association between dairy and calcium consumption and osteoporosis is scrutinizedby comparing the incidence of osteoporosis in countries with low and high intakes, and in individuals with low and high intakes. Even considering confounding factors, such as differences in sun exposure and physical activity, a greater bulk of the evidence points to a detrimental effect of higher dairy consumptionand ineffectiveness of calcium supplements.
Concerning quantity of protein intake, it seems unequivocally that high intake increases calcium losses in the urine. The studies cited in favor of increasing protein intake pertain to individuals under-nourished at baseline, not representative of the general population. Concerning protein quality, graphs are presented illustrating the relationship between hip fracture risk and dietary protein sources which point to lower risk when the vegetable:animal protein ratio is higher, and vice versa.
The book elaborates on the rationale for increasing one's intake of fruits and vegetables. The main ideas are that the alkaline effect of these products on the blood prevents loss of calcium from the bones and stimulates bone building cells, and that they contain all the numerous other nutrients required for bone health. Charts are provided with the effects of various foods on blood acidity, and a listing of all the essential nutrients and where they can be naturally found. It's a pity more research has not been conducted to test the effectiveness of a low-acid diet.
The chapter on physical exercise rounds up the comprehensive lifestyle recommendations.
The review of osteoporosis drugs is helpful, and I agree with the authors that their use should not be "automatic" but based on a judicious estimate of cost (known and unknown potential long term side effects) and benefit in each individual case.
I recommend this book because, whether one takes medication or not, it is a very useful resource for ways to improve not only bone health, but health in general.

The truth about bone health
Finally, an honest look at bone health and diet. After decades of misinformation from the dairy council, it's refreshing to see an honest look at the medical evidence behind diet and bones. Yes, the evidence against animal products has been growing for years, but this is the first time I've seen it encapsulated in an easy-to-read, medically grounded health book. Kudos to Castleman and Lanou for standing up and pointing out one of the most egregious health misperceptions of our time: that milk does a body good.

"Science" with a hidden agenda
At first, this book seemed very scientific and I was impressed by all the studies. But then I encountered some statements about protein that just seemed kind of offand were poorly supported by research so I looked into who Amy Joy Lanou is. Turns out, she is a vegan, animal rights activist who appears to have a hidden agenda to get people to stop using animal products. She's a member of PCRM which has been described as follows:

"The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) is a wolf in sheep's clothing. PCRM is a fanatical animal rights group that seeks to remove eggs, milk, meat, and seafood from the American diet, and to eliminate the use of animals in scientific research. Despite its operational and financial ties to other animal activist groups and its close relationship with violent zealots, PCRM has successfully duped the media and much of the general public into believing that its pronouncements about the superiority of vegetarian-only diets represent the opinion of the medical community.
"Less than 5 percent of PCRM's members are physicians," Newsweek wrote in February 2004. The respected news magazine continued:

[PCRM president Neal] Barnard has co-signed letters, on PCRM letterhead, with the leader of Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty, an animal-rights group the Department of Justice calls a "domestic terrorist threat." PCRM also has ties to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. An agency called the Foundation to Support Animal Protection has distributed money from PETA to PCRM in the past and, until very recently, did both groups' books. Barnard and PETA head Ingrid Newkirk are both on the foundation's board.

New York Times columnist Joe Sharkey put it more crisply in a November 2004 piece about PCRM's annual airport-food ratings. "The physicians' committee has a PETA link," he wrote, "and its food rankings reflect that agenda."

Building Bone Vitality
I eliminated animal protein from my diet and increased plant protein based on the author's recommendations. I have been noticing significant positive changes in my health, mostly my joints. The book is excellent in that the author does build a strong case that animal protein does promote calcium depletion. ... Read more

Product Description
Abstract:Dietary calcium and dairy foods have demonstrated an antiobesity effect in animal studies, observational and population studies, and randomized clinical trials. Moreover, there is a strong theoretical framework to explain the effects of dietary calcium on energy metabolism. The supporting mechanisms include dietary calcium-correcting suboptimal calcium intakes, thereby preventing the endocrine response (parathyroid hormone [PTH] and calcitriol), which favors adipocyte energy storage and inhibits adipocyte loss via apoptosis. Dietary calcium appears to further promote energy loss via formation of calcium soaps in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby modestly reduces net energy absorption. Dietary calcium appears to be responsible for approximately 50% of the antiobesity bioactivity of dairy foods. The additional dairy bioactivity has not been fully identified, but is primarily localized in whey protein. The major components are the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor activity of whey proteins and the high concentration of leucine in whey. This high leucine content appears to be primarily responsible for the repartitioning of dietary energy from adipose tissue to skeletal muscle during weight loss, resulting in greater preservation of skeletal muscle and accelerated loss of adipose tissue during negative energy balance. Finally, high-calcium diets suppress obesity-induced oxidative and inflammatory stress independently from its role in modulating adiposity; these effects are similarly augmented by other dairy food components. However, the number of randomized clinical trials conducted is still modest, and a small number have not confirmed significant effects in weight management. Thus, the protective effects of dairy foods against obesity and its comorbidities are promising, but warrant further large-scale studies. ... Read more
