Nutritional Aspects of Osteoporosis 2006, ICS 1297: Proceedings of the International Symposium on Nutritional Aspects of Osteoporosis, 4-6 May 2006, ... 1297) (International Congress, Volume 1297) - Hardcover
The 6th Symposium on Nutritional Aspects of Osteoporosis confirmed that the field of nutritional influences on of bone health has become a very active, productive, and innovative scientific specialty, which justifies a periodic eview. Since the last meeting in 2003, new nutritional factors and aspects have been discovered, as e.g. the importance of vitamin D on muscle function and risk of fall, the interactions between proteins and calcium metabolism, the importance of the homocysteine system, and more information has been gathered on the role of the acid respectiely tha alkaline load of food on bone health. In this context have been further examined the influence of vitamin K, of potassium and bicarbonate, of fruits and vegetables. furthermore, new data were produced on the long-term efficacy of calcium or dairy products, or of proteins consumed in childhood. This volume presents the major presentations of the symposium. It offers the opportunity to review several segments of the growing field of nutritional research.

Book Description:
This book is based on the presentations given at the 5th International Symposium on Nutritional Aspects of Osteoporosis held in Lausanne, Switzerland in 2003.
From the Back Cover:
The way we choose to eat can offer preventive and therapeutic health benefits - even preventing the onset of diseases such as osteoporosis.
In Nutritional Aspects of Osteoporosis, over 20 international experts share their knowledge of proper nutrition and how it influences the growth and development of peak bone mass, maintains bone mass in adults, and reduces bone loss in the elderly. These experts describe the great variety of nutrients and foods that can be used in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, nutrients such as protein, vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin D, sodium, and potassium, and they break new ground in exploring the significant contribution to bone health from these nutrients'.
State-of-the-art reviews on:
· The new understanding of the roles calcium and vitamin D in growth and development
· The functions of dietary proteins in bone health
· The significance of dietary magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin A, and vitamin K
· Acidbase balance, sodium, and potassium as determinants of the bone and calcium economy
· The confirmation of the benefits of dairy products, and the factors behind current antidairy activism
