Guest guest Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Here is a study arguing that it's the collagen, not the mineral content, that determines a bone's " toughness " : i.e., resistance to breakage upon impact. The study, published in 2000, says there is currently no " therapy " (i.e., drug) to maintain the collagen of a bone. http://www.uthscsa.edu/opa/releases/nrel29feb00-5.html Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
