Hi David. I'm curious about your emphasis on the acid/ alkaline ratio making consumption of vegetation necessary to prevent calcium buffering from bones. I seem to remember the Bear mentioning that his bone density was excellent after over 40 years of consuming no plant foods whatsoever. Surely he shouldn't have any bones at all. Or at least suffer from some form of osteoporosis. I've always been curious about the claims that traditional Inuit suffered from osteoporosis. Very little data was ever collected from truly traditional Inuit. Stefansson was one of the few who would have been in an excellent position to observe traditional Inuit suffering high rates of fracture and he never mentioned it in his journals. Paleo authors like Cordain really want this acid/alkaline ratio thing to be true, so they are forever claiming that the Inuit are evidence to support this contention. But they're not.

What are you thoughts?
