> The dairy council finances some of the research, I know, but you're right, it's not the whole picture. The mentality in the medical establishment is definitely in favor of calcium. And very little about magnesium, which I found amazing when I read of all the solid research about some things such as magnesium and heart disease and diabetes. In "The Magnesium Factor" especially.
I agree. The more I read about magnesium, the more convinced I am of its significance in preventing osteoporosis.

Fortunately I like that.

I'll have to try the glycinate next. How are you liking the one you ordered from iHerb?
> Selenium's the thing as far as I know. Have you tried another form of it? Some has yeast and some not.
I can't remember. I think I tried the form without yeast but I'll have to do the experiment again to be sure.
