>Michelle - good luck with your study.  I am curious about things like this sometimes, although I had also heard that long periods of (especially weight bearing) exercise tends to increase bone mass, as the body adjusts to the greater load.  I hope you can compile information that will be helpful to future hikers.

That is what I have always read too.  But if people live on garbage like Kraft
Mac and Cheese for months on end I have to wonder what the health effects will
be.

I was surprised and the magnitude of the negative reaction to the proposed
study.  I've got very little use for doctors beyond setting bones and fixing
plumbing problems but I was not offended by the original post in this thread.





C/S/X

Consumer/Survivor/Ex-Patient; 
a progressive term, in that 
one begins with the illusion 
of being a "consumer," is 
subjected to one or more of 
the horrors of psychiatric/
therapeutic abuse and becomes 
a "survivor" (if s/he's lucky),
and quickly realizes that the 
best way in which to extend his 
survival and avoid a repetition
 of the nightmare is to remain 
permanently an "EX-Patient."
