I am not a doctor but Osteoporosis is a degeneration of bones.
Osteoporosis is a disease of bone in which the bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced, bone microarchitecture is disrupted, and the amount and variety of non-collagenous proteins in bone is altered. Osteoporotic bones are more at risk of fracture. Osteoporosis is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) in women as a bone mineral density 2.5 standard deviations below peak bone mass (20-year-old sex-matched healthy person average) as measured by DXA; the term "established osteoporosis" includes the presence of a fragility fracture. While treatment modalities are becoming available (such as the bisphosphonates), prevention is still considered the most important way to reduce fracture. Due to its hormonal component, more women, particularly after menopause, suffer from osteoporosis than men. In addition it may be caused by various hormonal conditions, smoking and medications (specifically glucocorticoids) as well as many chronic diseases.
Lifestyle
Lifestyle prevention of osteoporosis is in many aspects inversions from potentially modifiable risk factors.
Exercise - Achieving a higher peak bone mass through exercise and proper nutrition during adolescence is important for the prevention of osteoporosis. Exercise and nutrition throughout the rest of the life delays bone degeneration.
Nutrition - A proper nutrition is a diet sufficient in calcium and vitamin D. Patients at risk for osteoporosis (e.g. steroid use) are generally treated with vitamin D and calcium supplements. In renal disease, more active forms of Vitamin D such as paracalcitol or (1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol or calcitriol which is the main biologically active form of vitamin D) is used, as the kidney cannot adequately generate calcitriol from calcidiol (25-hydroxycholecalciferol) which is the storage form of vitamin D.
Quiting tobacco smoking - Tobacco smoking inhibits the activity of osteoblasts.
Drinking moderately of alcohol
Avoiding heavy metals

It's a disease we don't have a cure for. If you have not gone through puberty yet, calcium and vitamin D can help prevent it. If you are showing signs of it, phosphorus has a small effect in slowing it down, so does weight training.

a million. we are additionally the only species that chefs its food. i'm not sure it is evidence of something. 2, 3, and six. you will get hormone-unfastened organic and organic milk, from humanely-raised cows. besides the undeniable fact that, it incredibly is tricky to locate and expensive. 4, 7, 9, and 10. exciting, yet i'm not sure the place you get your information, as I incredibly have in no way heard those previously. 5. Correlation =/= causation. there's a extreme fee of osteoporosis between Caucasians, and ecu or ecu-descended human beings (aka white human beings, Canadians, and so on.) would drink extra milk than others via their prevalent delicacies. this would not mean that one reasons the different. 8. I incredibly have heard this previously, yet i've got heard from different sources that it incredibly is in basic terms an city legend. appears like on your adventure it incredibly is authentic. So, some are extra convincing than others. i'm no longer attempting to cajole you to drink milk (i think of being vegan is great--choose for it). it incredibly is recommended to quote some sources in case you want to be extremely convincing. and honestly your arguments are good reasons to no longer drink maximum individuals of milk produced (it is, as you're saying, produced in unethical circumstances and crammed with hormones and junk).
