More than just that, according to a chart I looked at online (I posted the link earlier) our calcium actually needs to go up with age. There is a 30 year period between 19 and 49 where it stays the same, but up after that.
Good post. We're the only mammals who drink milk after the age of weaning.
This is accurate, more so that her teeth will even fall out if she doesn't take vitamins. So your admitting here that something is lacking. She must fill her diet with specific processed things in order to keep her levels up. I don't think it would be natural to say losing teeth is suppose to be an acceptable side to child bearing.
The only women who do not produce enough milk for their children are those who are near death from starvation. Our bodies will deplete our reserves first and shortchange us in order to feed the children.
Well thats a good point, but it has to come from somewhere otherwise you need to contact these manufactures of prenatle vitamins and let them know we allready have a good source.
She doesn't need to consume milk herself. Lactation is driven by hormones, not milk intake.
So please explain to me how its easier to build the weapon, build the ammo, breed the animals, catch, kill, slaughter, package, process, ship, and prepare, compared to say picking an apple off a tree and eating it? Most things on this planet don't have to go very far for food, and even if they do, they are at least equiped in natural ways to catch it.
It's easier if you have the tools and skills to hunt. We have or at least we did have.
What you meant to say here is that he has to go through a lot of trouble to locate, enguage the prey and process it, before he can eat it. Its another redundant example of the trouble we go through to get what we need. There isn't anything else on this planet that goes through what we go through simply to eat a meal.
It's quicker. A hunter gatherer takes advantage of the source of food that is available.
Do you honestly believe that we started out as scavengers?
Nope. The reason we eat meat is because for us it is part of our diet. We began eating bone marrow we scavenged from other animals kills. Because (our alien hands came in usefull here) we used tools, all be it a rock to break the large bones other animals could not.
That gave us a source of high protien food we had to do little work to get (cheap) which in turn fed our brains developement and we moved from scavengers to hunters.
Yes I know but just cant see myself eating grass.
He gave you examples not an exclusive list
I see, so you honestly think we are evolving and that is whats causing all this trouble. Now we are the only ones evolving because nothing seems to be evolving along with us, or at least in the same direction. Anyhow, we have decided to seperate ourselves as far away from everything else on this planet because evolution is better?
Problem is you always come up with a really illogical conclusion whilst rejecting the obvious one.
Ya you just read a copy of it.
I think I can guess how that went

The claim that getting pregnant somehow leeches calcium from teeth is an old wive's tale with no foundation in reality. The purpose of prenatal vitamins is to insure that the mother is capable of providing the necessary nutrients to the fetus. While certain hormones released during pregnancy can lead to gingivitis due to an inflammation in the gums, it has nothing to do with diet or calcium intake.
Lose her teeth if she doesn't take her vitamins? Are you serious? That's so false I'm just staring at my screen with incredulity. I don't even know how to properly react to this lack of education.
