That is the whole point of my hypocrisy comment . You cannot have a "vegan friendly" food if it has B12 added to it because that B12 is a byproduct of animal slaughter industry. You cannot get around it , you need animals to die to provide that B12 to prevent you becoming aneamic. You are just choosing to eat a very small part of an animal instead of the larger part that the rest of the population eats.
I also want to make it clear that i'm not anti vegan or anti vegetarian. If you choose not to eat meat that is your own choice but if you are that dedicated , avoid the foods with the B12 supplementation and accept the resulting detrimental health problems resulting from your ethical choice rather than being a hypocrit and eating that little bit of animal that prevents you becoming ill.
All I said was that milk and yogurt are championed as the prevention measure for osteoporosis, but when you look at consumption rates and disease rates, they're both high. Does correlation equal causation? No. Is it worth a second thought? I think so.
Again this is all propaganda. How do you know that the high milk product intakes aren't reducing the levels of osteoporosis that would be present if those intakes were reduced. Many of the known causes of osteoporosis are associated with a western lifestyle. You could make the same correlation statements about any aspect of a western lifestyle , from car driving , to office work , to hours of telly watched per week.
compare a western person who is likely to have an office job,be overweight,drive to work ,eat a diet high in processed foods with multiple additives added to those foods with an african person who is more likely to be doing manual labour, not be overweight and eating a diet mainly of freshly prepared foods without all the additives and preservatives . In your expert opinion you think it is best to target a single dietary ingredient in the above peoples lives as the cause of higher osteoporosis in the western population compared to the african .
Do you think it possible that all the additives and preservatives in a western diet may be contributing to the dietary problems that can lead to osteoporosis. Or that the shift in economic output from a manual labour/agricultural based economy to a office /technology based economy may result in less sunlight exposure leading to lower natural vitamin D production , leading to lower calcium retention by the body may be a cause of higher osteoporosis in a western society. Or that much like exercise helps to increase the amount and strength of your muscles , excercise may help to increase the amount and strength of your bones as well and that the sedentary lifestyle that afflicts westerners may therefore also contribute to weaker bones and increased osteoporosis.
Its easy to extrapolate out from the known causes of osteoporosis and come up with the possible causes i just listed . Its bone idle propaganda to say x is high and b is high therefore x causes b which is the sum total of your argument.
