A member asked:

Can agent orange sprayed in vietnam have caused my bones to deteriate (bone density) ?

Not clear cause: Agent orange was toxic stuff, but bone deterioration is, to my knowledge, not on the list of links. Many of the diseases associated with ao, such as diabetes and heart disease, are so common in vietnam vets that it is hard to make a link. See your doctor about your bones and get treatment.
