Low acidic diet (alkaline) helps you more with getting calcium in your tissues than over-focusing on a high calcium diet. Western women drink a lot of cow dairy and yet have osteoporosis, yet Asian women have no problems with "low calcium" diets (low dairy/meat).
Macros are no replacement to studies with actual food sources. It's a way to trick you.
Edit: [CORRECTION] Asian women have high osteoporosis. I misremembered. This was a terrible example.

- neuroma 4y agoIs the claim that Asian women suffer lower rates of osteoporosis despite lower diary because they consume an alkaline diet something which has been studied at a scale and depth to support a causal link?
- midoridensha 4y ago>>there aren't many good non-milk non-fish sources of calcium, >yet Asian women have no problems with "low calcium" diets (low dairy/meat). Asian diets (particularly in Japan) are very fish-heavy.
- tpush 4y ago> Low acidic diet (alkaline) helps you more with getting calcium in your tissues No, this is not a thing, please don't spread misinformation.
- donatzsky 4y agoI remember reading my way down the alkaline rabbit hole some years back. The amount of nonsense there is simply astounding.
