RE: The Calcium Paradox: Heart Disease And Misplaced Calcium
Good stuff,
I would just note drinking lots a milk doesn't mean your getting all the calcium your body needs. Calcium is hard to absorb without other minerals like magnesium. Leafy greens are high in magnesium so if you're not eating those everyday you're probably deficient in calcium.
Indeed
Only the B blood type handles milk and cheeses well, the rest of us have issues with one form or another. Fermented milk, Kefir, is still good for some folks, as are mozarella and feta cheeses. Look up "Blood Type Food List" and click on the D'Adamo links. ;)
Magnesium is deficient in many. Calcium is much more abundant in the average diet. As you say, calcium is hard to absorb. The K2 is a major factor in increasing this absorption. Also, vitamin A, D3, and phosphorus are among the other compounds that allow us to make efficient use of the calcium that is normally not absorbed.
