Another myth proved to be wrong
In a recent paper in the April 2003 issue of The Journal of Nutrition, Roughead et al. (1) examined the effects of a high meat compared with a low meat diet on calcium retention and calciuria in healthy postmenopausal women.
No differences in calcium status were observed after 3-8 diet wk.
These findings concur with earlier studies showing that high meat or high protein intake does not necessarily result in elevated urinary calcium losses
