Osteoporosis runs in my husbands family. My husband has overindulged in calcium all his life and is strong as an ox is large boned and very active and he has it. I, on the other hand have weighed 100 lbs most of my life, don't drink milk or take calcium and am small boned and I don't have any problem. Its in the genes.

"It's in the genes." Or...maybe HORMONES??? Or the amount of vegetables eaten, i.e. the balance between protein and vitamins and minerals. I also wonder if certain populations are more at risk....i.e. Finnish vs. Germans ancestry? Lots of questions...LOL.
