Why healthy bones are about so much more than milk | Body Stuff with Dr. Jen Gunter

[@JoeyIndolos]

Spot on about exercise. Increasing your intake of calcium (whether from milk, leafy greens. etc.) without exercising, and then thinking it will increase your bone mass significantly, is like eating more protein and thinking you’ll get a muscular physique even if you don’t exercise.

[@spring7643]

Great point

[@chiraagrm2817]

This is a good analogy!

[@rexfenris4856]

I'm loving this series! More from Dr. Gunter, please.

[@hamza3065]

This series is great, informative and enjoyable.

[@Kelli.Hicks.5]

I agree. I've been really enjoying them.

[@alparslankorkmaz2964]

i totally agree with u

[@anacletwilliams8315]

I love this series too. We need more of them!

[@dailydoseofmedicinee]

green leafy vegetables, such as broccoli, cabbage and okra👍

[@prashp143]

Grains and seeds

[@chrispicakes6577]

Beans and greens!

[@MusikGirl23]

Yup! Beans and greens. I don’t drink dairy milk and haven’t since I was 12, with the rare exception of chocolate or strawberry as a treat. I do eat yogurt a lot, but I’m not drinking dairy.

[@pinkmandalorian9619]

I am more and more lactose intolerant and didn't know how to go without milk for calcium. Your video will help me a lot, thank you very much

[@gmr1241]

There's lots of calcium sources without needing milk or cheese.

[@Commievn]

​@@gmr1241 but cheese and milk are so good tho.

[@vijayarya2688]

Thank you all very much

[@Jakemwc]

My knees used to crack everytime I get up from the floor or when I squat. Increasing my calcium intake from high-calcium milk and yoghurt didn't help. It only went away after I started weight lifting.

[@leoelliondeux]

I'm pretty sure joint cracking has nothing to do with bone health and is just air releasing

[@myscure]

Try vegan diet... its proven that milk and dairy can cause bone rot.. because the calcium given in dairy is made for cows and not humans...

[@TiTi-ww7xt]

I love this series! She is amazing as a host! Thank you guys for sharing this content👍👍

[@nHans]

And *phosphorus.* Didn't address the role of phosphorus in maintaining bone health. Taking calcium supplements can upset phosphorus balance and-paradoxically-make bones weaker! Natural foods are the best.

[@sherling4663]

The countries with the highest cow milk/dairy intake also have the most people with Osteoporosis.

[@luciaortiz2067]

I was just going to comment that, diary is not the best calcium source. There are studies that associate diary intake with a higher risk of breast cancer as well

[@stankssmile5865]

Wait india is the highest consumer of milk and Norway has the highest osteoporosis rates as per google

[@GlennMarshallnz]

And the highest rates of breast and prostrate cancer.

[@Leonhart_93]

@Murph the Martian Mustelid Totally, a simple correlation like that means nothing.

[@waytoprogramming]

Life changing!! I had no idea bones are that important and contributing so much.

[@jhunt5578]

Seems pretty obvious that adult humans don't need to breast feed off a different species of mammal for bone health.

[@earthling_parth]

But hey, Oatmilk is pretty cool too 😏

[@dorinnew_life7245]

Its still a good source of calcium and vitamin D. She didnt exclude it, you couldnt picture it properly.

[@bubblegumbxtchh]

@@dorinnew_life7245 okay, and? Not relevant to what they said because their point was that you don’t need it and you don’t.

[@GM-qi8pw]

then why did our species develop that ability? we are scavengers / Predators so this shouldn't really surprise us.

[@jhunt5578]

@@GM-qi8pw We are gatherer hunters, opportunistic omnivores. Most people are lactose intolerant. Just because we have the ability to consume something doesn't make it essential for health. Adult milk drinking is more an adaptation than an evolution.

[@Hypochondriac003]

I'm gonna sharing her message to my mom. ❤️. It’s informative.

[@ike5394]

I know that milk isn’t only a good source to protect our bones.There are many sources, so I will take them as possible. Also, the thing that a bone is composed of three structures was interesting for me. My dream is to be a surgeon. So , I want to know about them deeply in the future.

[@spicybiryani2617]

Ah looks like KZbin knew I needed this video. I'm not lactose intolerant, but I have a inflammatory disease which causes flare up from dairy products. My bones crack alot, I was already worried about my calcium intake because I cut down dairy. I'm not worried anymore!

[@Kelli.Hicks.5]

This videos are so interesting and approachable.

[@kirkralston8469]

I’m OBSESSED with this woman!

[@t.s593]

Pause

[@ruxsky7593]

You are amazing doctor

[@burtonschrader2]

Thank you very much! 'Milk Makes Bones' is the biggest product of the powerful dairy lobby, 'big business'. Milk is not particularly good for you (or a particularly good source of calcium) but criticizing dairy products puts you into the 'endangering our kid's teeth and bones' category. Calcium is also important for our emotional well being. A good calcium, magnesium, zinc and D (combined) supplement is good to take (and harmless) esp as we get older.

[@Phasma6969]

I would also add that it's terrible to suggest only eating vegetables for older people as you require a more acidic stomach to derive the most of those minerals. Vegetables contain anti-nutrients and enzyme inhibitors which reduce the correct functioning of your digestive system..........

[@spencergsmith]

There is nothing wrong with milk (or other dairy products such as cheese or Greek yogurt) as part of a balanced diet, assuming that you aren’t lactose intolerant.

[@abdulrahmanyousef7686]

Thank you for this video. I like you present this topic.

[@alparslankorkmaz2964]

Nice video.

[@jnv1971]

A key piece of advice is missing here. Don't eat a lot of or supplement with calcium and D3 without also supplementing with K2. D3 helps with uptake into your bloodstream, while K2 sheperds the calcium from your arteries into your bones. High calcium serum levels without adequate K2 are instead associated with hardening of your arteries, which you don't want.

[@theplaylab9336]

As a person who has broken bones, this is useful.

[@olahiannyeong6021]

tell us what we need to know about knees please

[@spring7643]

Eat low inflammation diet, look up "foods high in Omega 6" and eliminate or limit those foods as much as you can, an easier way to remember it is "anything processed has Omega 6" because any food that comes out of nature has Omega 3. Man-made foods are bad for knees.

[@yvettebyvexxi5249]

[@alexforce9]

No mentioning of how imporant is magnesium and vit K for the bones?

[@edanirz]

What about red meat and organs? amazing nutrition and never mentioned.

[@earthling_parth]

Because they're proven carcinogens and are bad for your body. Veggies for the win again 😉

Isn’t magnesium important for bone health as well?

[@SonnyDarvish]

@@MM-cz2yh Do your bones usually bend that easy on every lift? or are you pointing out at accidents that can literally happen at every action we take in our lives?

I don’t drink milk for the nutritional value (that’s just a bonus), I drink it because it’s tasty.

[@beck8191]

Did you mention Vit K2 ??

[@GM-qi8pw]

A lot of stuff missing here. but I guess it's fine for a 4 min video. for example. your body doesn't really absorb calcium from milk that has been heated. like the ones on store shelves. in order to increase the time, it can stay on the shelf for you to buy. The same goes for foods that have been artificially supplemented like cereals and tons of other processed foods. the less processed the food is. the better it is for you.

Every 10 years? Whoah! That's new to me

[@ddpwe5269]

Wouldn't strengthening your bones via activity be increases its MASS? So we don't stay the same MASS, if we lose calcium overtime from inactivity

[@michaelwatts5481]

Dairy makes you urinate out more calcium than it provides.

[@dorinnew_life7245]

If milk is your thing, thats completely ok. Oh yeah, I drink 2/3 glasses of milk everyday and I will keep on drinking it.

[@lesleywalker3083]

Dr. Jen Gunter is so awesome. I'm really enjoying this TedEd series by the good doctor. Anyone else find the doctor not only easy to learn from but also really easy on the eyes too? She's got a unique sexiness to her; but she's fun to learn from too. Thank you doc for this series. Could you make a video about smoking? I'm 45 and have smoked since age 15. I know I've done serious damage to my body after 30 years of smoking but could you educate on the specifics about what the chemicals have done to my cardiovascular system?

[@MM-cz2yh]

You can watch Veritasium series about radiation. As a smoker you live a life, like, in Fucushima or even worse, by letting through all that radioactive particals straight to your bloodstream.

[@rahulkharai4703]

And don't forget vitamin k2 for bone health.

[@thorzyan]

And boron, magnesium, silica, animal collagen...

[@kristaheikkala2089]

Yes you can get calcium from other places than milk products. BUT they didn’t mention any portion sizes. To get the same amount of calcium than from a cup (=2.4 dl) of milk you would have to consume: 300 g of spinach / 1,5 dl of almonds / 5 eggs / 2-3 oranges / 3 tbls of tahini / 5 dl of soya beans / 150g of salmon / 1 kg of broccoli. An adult needs 800 mg of calsium a day, which is about 3-4 portions daily. Yes, you can live with out drinking milk, but getting enough of calsium with out any milkproducts is hard.

[@thenonexistinghero]

Drinking calcium-rich milk is not the only thing you can do for a strong and healthy skeleton? It doesn't do anything. Heck, there isn't even any evidence out there that cow's milk does have a positive effect relating to healthy bones. There's a lot of articles claiming that milk is a good source for calcium, but actually none of them that have any evidence to back it up properly. Something containing a lot of vitamins doesn't necessarly mean your body will absorb them properly. Most of the artificial vitamins don't have any positive effect other than raising your risk to get cancer and leave the planet early. Besides that, most of the extra added artificial vitamins that are added to foods and whatnot don't even have a single positive effect on the body either.

[@Sagittarius-A-Star]

The Calcium contained in milk can just partially be absorbed by the body - we have been fooled by the milk industry for decades. I started to wonder about this after realizing that nobody in Asia drinks milk (OK, in the past ...) - still they have bones.

It is all about milk, actually. I haven't broken a bone since I was 3 because I drank 2-3 gallons a week for the first 15 years of my life. My grandfather did the same, and at 75yo, doctors told him his bones were like that of a teenage athlete.

[@mikeuzumaki775]

[@ericjohnson6665]

This is short on actual information... our body takes calcium from our bones to maintain alkaline blood which can become acidic from too much soda, or animal protein (yes, milk is counter-productive here), to name but a few of the causes of acidity. Kale chips took me from border-line osteoporosis to normal bone density... and they're very tasty!

[@johnlocke26]

Cow's milk doesn't actually naturally contain vitamin d, it's added by the dairy industry in order to be able to claim that cows milk is a good source of calcium. The high levels of fat naturally found in cows milk would otherwise sufficiently interfere with the absorption of calcium that the fda would prevent the dairy industry from being to make that claim.

[@urbanbengtsson2500]

You will need 2kg raw broccoli for a daily intake of calcium, or 1 kg of spinach wich contains oxalic acid that binds to both iron and calcium and make crystals in your body. 100 gram of cheese is what you need for a daily intake.
