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.
