@JCKeus-cx1wm I'm thinking quite an amount of women get brittle bones , especially post menopause from diets low in protein (they often see trough to have calcium in diet or supplements yet still have this problem). The physical activity may matter though diet have an significant impact (Amber Heard had an fracture by training for marathon, and she is not old though she is a vegan).

@pida9669 Though horses and elephants have a significantly different digestive system compared to humans.We wouldn't dare that we'll if we'd eat grass. Our intestines and acidity of stomach acid is very much like dogs and hyenas

@Vivungisport A lot of women, especially around menopause, start to get signs of osteoporosis despite they eat fairly healthy, but they can be on the low side in protein. Sometimes it's perhaps on purpose if they believe that protein makes you grow big because people who train a lot make sure they have sufficient. But many don't seem to realise the bones are not just a structure of calcium and other minerals but a significant amount of protein. And similar it annoys me when seeing nutritionists and dietists promoting enormous amounts of spinach "for it's healthy with lots of iron and calcium" despite the oxalic acid content in them binds to minerals and often then prevent the mineral to reach where it makes a benefit. Plenty of women who eat healthy become anemic and have lesser bone density despite throwing two handfuls of kale or spinach to every meal and smoothie. The calcium doesn't get to the bones but tend to accumulate elsewhere, like the kidneys or around the joints (it likely is supposed to travel to the skeleton trough the connective tissue as muscular cells renews) Campbell's soups study from the 50s showed that rats that were fed spinach got rickitis.
