From the RealAge Tip of the Day:

"While loading up on protein helps shed pounds, it also speeds up bone loss.
Large amounts of protein -- a pound of chicken, fish, beef, or pork or 2.5
pounds of nuts per day -- prompt your body to excrete bone-building calcium
rather than absorb it."

A diet with 2.5 pounds of nuts per day? Walnuts, 2.5 pounds = 7,416
calories, 739 grams of fat, 170 grams of protein. This is high protein?
This is a DIET??? Maybe they meant almonds, only 6554 calories, 574 fat,
241 protein.

I wonder if they ever acknowledged the study (I vaguely remember)
linking bone loss to eating lots of grains?

Or that just because you excrete more calcium doesn't mean that you're
losing calcium in bones. Or how do they reconcile with this:

Or this:

I could go on, but they're too stupid to do their own research.
