hmmmm..maybe that could actually benefit people with osteoporosis??

Not likely. In this case the patient suffered from a bone disease caused by ingesting too much fluoride. Cutting out fluoridated water altogether would most likely eliminate any chances of her getting the same bone disease again, but that in itself is neither here nor there when it comes to osteoporosis. Apples and oranges.

yes..but... her bone density was increased..in her case, detrimentally, but in moderation maybe it could prevent bone density loss? or rebuild

I don't see anything in that story saying that her bone density was increased. And when I looked into skeletal fluorosis, which is what she suffered from, everything I found said that fluorisis damages bones, not builds them up. And the calcified ligaments wouldn't be an acceptable side effect under any circumstance!

Our bones are a lot more sophisticated than many people think. They're not just rocks. If the elastic parts of them are killed off, they become as heavy and brittle as rocks though. And this is exactly what old folks don't need--more broken bones! :eek:

I meant smaller doses of floride under controlled conditions to build bone density...but it looks like I didn't think of it first..:) I swear every invention or cure or etc... somebody else actually does it ...eventually...maybe because I'm (hands on hips super hero style) .."The Procrastinator"....echo echo echo..

hey...are there "Brownies in a Can out there yet? I invented that one when I was 10!

FLUORIDE

Er...we've had fluoridated water for well over a century now. The FDA has not approved fluoride for the prevention or treatment of osteoporosis.

There are plenty of very efficacious drugs to treat osteoporosis. My almost 90 year old mom just completed a round of treatment, and has actually gained a significant amount of bone density. There's no need to play around with toxic substances any more.

but...I like to play around with toxic substances;):D

My mom was just recently diagnosed after terrible back pain that turned out to be stress fractures of the spine!!YIKES. She is 70 and just started forteo. I think the fact that the FDA stopped recommending Hormone replacement therapy right when she was menopausal hurt her. Now after realizing the benefits might outweigh the risks..they have changed their tune about hormone therapy..
I don't mean to be too personal and please feel free to say you would rather not say... but I'm curious what treatment your mom had such success with?
 
Picked up some Celestial Seasonings Honey Lemon Ginger green tea. It's okay. Quite refreshing actually. Imagine it'd be good iced.
 
I thought that I would resurrect this informative thread. It seemed like a fitting place to pose my question. The wife and I recently entered the world of brewing lose leaf teas. We are both long time tea lovers but until recently we've lived in a bagged world. For Christmas I purchased her an automatic tea infusion machine. It is a very cool tea maker but now we need advice/guidance in purchasing some tea to match our tastes.
I'm a black tea lover and managed to buy a couple that I like and feel confident I will easily find something that I love. The Mrs. on the other hand prefers green tea. She is particularly enthralled with the iced green tea sold by Starbucks. Does anyone have a recommendation that might appease her? It's important that I find something similar in taste for it's her choice of drink... and after all, the brew machine was HER Christmas present. :D

I like the stuff they use in Chinese restaurants. It is not what is marketed as Green Tea, and I would like to know what it really is

I was going to guess that they served an Oolong tea. I gave google a chance to inform me and this is what I found:
Tea served in Chinese restaurants
One brand of tea, Dynasty, actually markets a tea blend called Chinese Restaurant Tea, which is a blend of oolong tea, jasmine-scented green tea, and unscented green tea. This blend occupies a middle ground between the different teas most commonly served in Chinese restaurants.

Oolong tea is a wonderful dreamy tea. I love a hot cup on a cold winter's night.

To update my post above from a couple of years ago... well we are still loving our tea maker and our teas. I have found that I'm a Darjeeling tea lover. My favorite Darjeeling tea is Longview Estate. It's not always available but it is so very good. My wife makes her own blend. It is mostly a green tea.. exactly the district and discipline I'm uncertain. She is happy. That's all that matters. :)

One of my highest ranking teas ever, but we have a tiny selection of most teas we have, my sister is a horder of teas, all she ever consumes, never ever soda either. I on occasionally will have some soda when I am at home, and when I do pick it up from the store it is every once a while occasion. Just finish up drinking Orange and Spices hot tea. Need to make more.
