Soy and high calcium and Bone mineral density

Posted by Chantel M. Contributed by US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health

In the study to determine if feeding soy in combination with a high-calcium diet would preserve bone mineral density and biomechanical bone strength to a greater extent than either soy or calcium alone, posted in PubMed, found that the dietary combination of soy and high calcium did not result in higher femur bone mineral density compared with other ovariectomized groups, and there were no differences in femur yield load or peak load among groups. In contrast, soy plus high calcium resulted in a higher (P < 0.05) vertebral bone mineral density compared with all other ovariectomized groups. Vertebral strength was preserved among rats fed either soy plus high calcium, soy, or high calcium whereas the ovariectomized group fed a control diet had lower (P < 0.05) vertebral strength than the sham-operated group. Bone mineral density of the lumbar spine was the only bone outcome that significantly benefited from the combination of soy and high calcium compared with soy or high calcium alone.
