One question. If I'm reading the first chart right, you discontinued calcium and vitamin D in 2012. If so, why?

Hi @callalloo, Yes. For 3 reasons,
1. The Ca & D did not appear to help much in the 2 years when I dropped
Fosamax.
2. I read articles talking some horrible info about Ca, like the supplement
could be made from some stone, and Ca can be linked to blood vessel
hardening, heart problem & kidney stone etc.
3. Without Ca and D over so many years, it appears not affecting my bone’s
performance that much.

Everyone’s body is unique. I do not suggest anyone to skip supplement. Only I prefer to rely on diet to provide the necessary nutrition. I don’t believe in “eat this, not that” either. Too confusing. I just eat everything without bias.
