Clin Cases Miner Bone Metab. 2011 Sep;8(3):33-6. Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and bone health. Pampaloni B, Bartolini E, Brandi ML. Osteoporosis is a multifactorial disease characterized by loss of bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, which leads to a consequent increase in the risk of skeletal fractures. Diet awakes a critical interest in osteoporosis, [...]
Free fatty acids suppress mitochondrial respiration (Kamikawa and Yamazaki, 1981), leading to increased glycolysis (producing lactic acid) to maintain cellular energy. The suppression of mitochondrial respiration increase the production of toxic free radicals, and the decreased carbon dioxide makes the proteins more susceptible to attack by free radicals. -Ray Peat, PhD Jpn Heart J. 1981 [...]
