I think that the teens that restricted dairy in their diets in the 1980s/90s will suffer with osteoporosis in future 

You are so right!!!       About 20 years ago, I was 12st7lb and needed to lose weight. (I now weigh 9st) I gave up milk on my breakfast cereal, thinking I was doing good. Porridge made with water and cinnamon. Black coffee!

For the last few weeks I now have milk at breakfast and I think I may start having an extra glass during the day. I have yoghurt and cottage cheese daily.

This wanting to lose weight has caused many problems. When I was late twenties I was 5' 6" and nine and a half stone. A nurse told me I was overweight,  so I eat a bit less and exercised more. Got down to 9 stone and was told I looked gaunt.
Aren't medical professionals wonderful

Gosh I'd not realised prunes had so much going for them.

Hi Stockport1965.  I just posted this on another thread & thought you might like to see it.  The extract below is interesting in what it says about a high calcium intake alone being insufficient.  Similar to what Dr Bluming says in the podcast link I posted earlier.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3173936/

"High calcium intake without estrogen is not effective in preventing the accelerated loss of bone that occurs in the years immediately after menopause. Long-term studies confirm that postmenopausal women who regularly use estrogen have greater bone mass and fewer osteoporotic fractures. Physicians should be encouraged to treat all estrogen-deficient women, particularly those who appear to be at higher risk for osteoporosis."

Thanks!

You're welcome .  Was adding a bit to it when you were posting!

Should also have said if you're considering HRT there's a bit more on HRT types/doses as they relate to bone density that you might like to see in the post I did earlier today on Avalon's thread called "Doctors!!!"

Also an osteoporosis sufferer, l’ve just had the results of a scan from March 2020 (impossible to get the result earlier due to COVID), but my hips are much improved, spine the same. I eat 6 prunes and a handful of almonds every day and take Alendronic acid. I’ll have another scan March 2022 and am hoping for more improvement due to the many miles l  now walk each as my lockdown exercise.

That is simply disgraceful that you were unable to access an important scan result  .  What was the Dept thinking of!

How do you find the AA? Any side effects?Prunes are supposed to be great, I'm having 10 a day

No problems with Alendronic Acid, though l know it doesn’t suit everyone.
