Dear Professor Sebastian,
Having read your Am J Clin Nutr (2001) article, and the follow-up Letter, I would be grateful for further guidance as to which food items in your study were identified as “animal” vs “vegetable” protein, and whether - as hinted in the Letter - you excluded grains and rice from vegetable protein (or, given their apparent acid-forming nature, even reclassified them with Animal Protein).The reason for asking, and for following your RG Project, is that I am researching seriously on my own behalf any ways to modify lifestyle (e.g. resistance exercise vs jogging, with the former’s apparent greater stimulus to testosterone and IGF-1, both reputedly enhancing bone growth) and especially nutrition as it might do likewise, or if poorly chosen, the converse.In particular, I have long been self-monitoring and would like to be able to analyse my spreadsheet data for the Animal/Vegetable protein ratio of my past (and especially future) nourishment.
Best regards – Paul G Ellis

Dear Paul,
I do not have access to the food frequency questionnaire that we used in the study, or to the raw data results. I do not believe we omitted any vegetable items, including grains, and did not include acid forming vegetables among animal sources. You can try asking Debora Sellmeyer, the first author of the paper; she probably has the raw data needed to answer your question.
If you are interested in optimizing your diet for health and fitness, I suggest that you try the Paleo diet, almost all of which menus are net base producing. For starters, I would read Loren Cordain's book, Real Paleo Fast & Easy. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2015.
Best wishes,
Anthony Sebastian
Dear Anthony,
Many thanks for your helpful reply.
My main interest is in optimising diet, along with exercise, specifically to try to slow (if not reverse) the progression of osteoporosis, rather than general health and fitness.
Best regards - Paul
