Dirty colons or eating foods with hydrogenated oils that build up on the walls of the intestinal tract. These reduce the absorption of nutrients needed for bones... The older we become, the more important it is to detoxify; clean the colon for proper absorption and being able to assimilate the vitamins and minerals to make use of them.
I appreciate reading about preventative medicine - it seems rare in this society. We're always so concerned with fixing things after they happen that we completely ignore the root of the problem.
Besides that, the article talks about all the regular stuff we've learned in class so far - take your vitamins, eat healthy, and start as early in life as possible. It mentions B complex and B12 as one of the necessary vitamins, but that's all regarding the B group. Not that much info on the web regarding B6, B12 and bones :(

I really enjoyed reading this information, and it is somethign I would completely read outside of this class. Like you, I too htink we should focus more on preventing the problem rather than waiting until there is a problem and trying to fix it. I had heard in a speech class once about cleanses being good for absoprtion of nutrients needed for healthy bones. Thanks for your post!
Very interesting...I've been wondering about a detoxifying diet and might check it out more in depth in the future. Need to make sure my body is ready to absorb all the nutrients I need!
