Reply to comment by RedditUserNo1990 in Fracture Risk in Vegetarians and Vegans: the Role of Diet and Metabolic Factors - PubMed by RedditUserNo1990

Great study. It has none of those funny little oversights that the vegan lobby neglected when they drew a line of correlation between diary intake and hip fractures a while back.

The oversight being that they had compared rates of hip fractures in Scandinavia to that of China and concluded that "since hip fractures are more prevalent in Scandinavia and Scandinavians consumes more dairy...". Anyone reading this will of course realize that large parts of Scandinavia is covered in slippery ice half of the year, greatly contributing to the rate of hip fractures...

The thing is no one study can be conclusive, but a collection of studies at different labs or universities, from different researchers paints a picture.

That is the case here. There are many studies showing similar or same conclusions about vegetarian and vegan diets.
