Physiologist: The likelihood of developing osteoporosis is greatly increased by a deficiency of calcium in the diet. βββββ ββββββββ βββββββ βββββββ ββββ βββββββ βββ βββββββ ββββ ββ ββββββ βββ βββββββββββ βββ ββ βββββββββ βββββ βββββ ββββββββ βββ βββββ βββ ββββββ βββ ββββββββββ βββ βββ ββββ ββββββ ββ ββββββββ βββ βββββββββ ββ ββββββββββββ ββ ββββ βββββ ββββ ββ βββββββββ βββββ ββββββ βββββββ β βββββ ββββ ββ βββββββ ββββ βββββ βββββββββ
Why is the rate of osteoporosis much lower in countries where fruits and veggies are the main source of calcium than in countries where people get a lot of calcium from dairy products, even though dairy products usually contain more calcium per serving than do fruits and vegetables, and the chance of getting osteoporosis increases from calcium deficiency?
The correct answer should suggest a difference between the people in countries in which fruits/veggies are main source of calcium and the countries in which dairy products provide a lot of the calcium. This difference should help explain the lower rates of osteoporosis in the fruits/veggie-focused countries.
