Tea
or Coffee?
October
20 marks the tenth World Osteoporosis
Day, and this year’s theme is Bone
Appetit, with special focus on the
beneficial role of nutrition in bone
health, so calcium-rich diet becomes a
hot topic.
China
is estimated to have 90 million
osteoporosis sufferers, according to a
medial expert of western discipline in
Canton. To reflect this year’s theme
message, he offered on calcium-related
tips by advising Chinese people to drink
more milk and to drink less coffee. But
his message seems to miss the point. Is
it true that he really doesn’t know
that most Chinese actually do not drink
either of them?
Maybe
it’d be better to have a Chinese
medicine doctor to act as an adviser. At
lease his knowledge has a root in the
local condition, and he won’t just
parrot what Western doctors might say to
their Western patients.
