Fatty Acids as Biochemical, Molecular Modulators of Bone
This article gives some physiological background for the finding that omega-3 fatty acids protect against osteoporosis.

This is a concept created and perpetuated by such big money organizations as the dairy industry. Osteoporosis is a disease of lifestyle, and calcium is but one of the many factors that plays into its progression or recovery.
