Thank you, JK, for the info! I read the entire US news article re bones; also the one re B-12, inasmuch as I am vegan, except for eating salmon.

@nancyguy Trying to get the nutrients that support your bones is very difficult I am finding. I track my food on myfitnesspal. I started because as always, I am trying to drop some pounds, but the bonus is that it tracks nutrients such as calcium and protein too. I only discovered recently that protein is very important too, our bones are 50% protein. If you have osteoporosis the recommended amount of protein is more than otherwise. So now I am trying to eat more protein too and it's getting very difficult to do that and keep my calories down.
Fairlife milk is high protein so I buying that now and trying to have a glass or two of that a day, It was recommended to me because it's lactose-free and I am lactose intolerant. The high protein content was a serendipity. I know there are some decent protein powders but I am not sure which are good and which are not considered to be good. I will try to research that more.
