Soapsud,
I was very interested in your posting. I was 'diagnosed' with osteoporosis age 41. Here I am 13 years later luckily I've never had a fracture. I have always been suspicious about the WHO bone density standard. There are all manner of interesting stats like in many Asian countries post menopausal women have low density but rarely have fractures. Interestingly this would support the questionable comparison with people of different weights. Like you I decided to do all the good things for bone health - except I am not a milk drinker. I exercise etc. I was a little freaked out at how much my density was reduced post chemo. but fundamentaly there isn't anything more I can do so I decided to just get on with life and not stress about it.
Thanks for your input
Anna
