Interesting. Also, when I think about the colloquial name "Dowager's
hump," I wonder if sex doesn't have a preventative effect as well. I
would love to see some statistics regarding "natural" childbirth
(i.e., natural oxytocin vs. synthetic, as well as vaginal vs.
c-section), breastfeeding (which we know exist), and sexual relations
in regards to osteoporosis.
Thanks for sharing!
