Reviews:

"Enhanced with the inclusion of 85 recipes, Annemarie Colbin’s “The Whole-Food Guide To Strong Bones: A Holistic Approach” is an invaluable and informative guide to the role good nutrition plays in strengthening the human skeletal system and can be the key to naturally rebuilding bone mass. Among the vitally important issues comprehensively addressed are which foods can actually weaken bones, diminish bone mass, and why such approaches as estrogen therapy, calcium supplements, and even prescription medications may not be efficacious. Of special note is the information concerning what can place us at risk for bone fracture – which is a hazard that can be increasingly dangerous as we grow older. Thoroughly ‘reader friendly’, The Whole-Food Guide To Strong Bones is a welcome and highly recommended addition to personal, family, and community library Holistic Medicine reference collections and supplemental reading lists."
