Thank you. That tells me a lot. I'll look for that article. I don't know why it's called a disease. I'm functioning, very active, and eat well. My blood scores are all in normal ranges. I take Vit D, K2, Mg, and B12. I know my own dr will be happy to call it a disease that needs treatment. In fact, she emailed me telling me to come in to discuss. Of course she wants her fee. It's all big business and it's scary. I'm not ready to deal with any side effects of drugs.

@junesiegel I agree that the appellation of "disease" is misleading. Disease connotes abnormality, but if one of every three postmenopausal women is being "diagnosed" with osteoporosis, the finding of low bone density would appear to be normal--or at minimum, a common condition vs a disease. The rationale for calling it a disease seems clearly linked to setting the stage for prescribing meds.
