Drugs to Strengthen Bones...may cause BROKEN LEGS

I'll admit it: I don't even like to take aspirin, that's how skeptical I am of drug claims. But I'm MOST skeptical of drugs that promise to reverse ANYTHING, especially bone loss. And now new studies have found that some of the drugs pushed on women (especially older women) to "rebuild bones" and to repair bone loss from menopause or osteoporosis...might actually cause leg bones to break on their own. In fact, some of the women who've broken their leg bones say it felt as if the bone broke and THEN they fell to the ground, not the other way around (which is how it's supposed to happen if you don't try to fool Mother Nature).

Want stronger bones? Then EXERICSE, for cryin' out loud.

Get out and walk every day, or swim, or take a short jog. Walk for 20-30 minutes, and don't just MOSEY....WALK like you're trying to get the first ride at Disney World on opening day. Walk like you mean it. Walk as if someone's chasing you and you want to get out of the way. Work up a sweat, and feel GOOD at the end. That's how you build strong bones....not by taking drugs.
