Below is an article that shows why the latest news on Calcium is misleading and harmful, as this 'meta-analysis study' used only 15 of 11,363 studies--excluding those studies using calcium w/ Vitamin D or Vitamin K, or other minerals to aid absorption. This is going to help Americans head towards Osteoporosis and other diseases that are dependent on adequate calcium in the diet.
Also, many think Tums, for instance is a good form of insurance, or form of calcium. This is also covered here, in detail....
Thank you Dr. Chaney....
My personal experience after a hysterectomy for endocervical cancer: Taking no calcium supplement meant my teeth began to look opaque, or transparent. Now I'm paying for those years without calcium, before I went back to Shaklee, with some cracking teeth. A root canal costs from $925-1500, and crowns are $925-1100, with bridges around $3000. Calcium coats nerves, helps prevent cancer and is integral in many body functions.
My diet includes 2 Vita Lea w/ 45% calcium, 2-4 Osteomatrix and 1-2 Soy Protein drinks a day. When my self care suffers, I notice. Prevention is much more inexpensive.
