Re:The Confusion Over Calcium/Magnesium and Your Bones

[Guest guest]

Though the aticle does mention, " Milk is not good for your bones

....obsession with calcium in our society appears to be a major

contributor to magnesium depletion ...high intake of calcium

interferes with magnesium absorption. In other words it makes an

already existing deficiency worse " , it fails to remark that milk

is today up to 70% depleted of magnesium. This is the only reason

calcium imbalance might be an issue when drinking milk.

 

How do young animals build their bones while living on the same

milk? They have adequate supplies of growth hormone, which we are

suppressing in ourselves by eating carbohydrate foods.

 

I note also that the elements boron and strontium and also

vitamin C are not mentioned at all in the article. You'd be

surprised what a little of those could do for building your bones

when added to the diet. Vitamin C for example is crucial for

laying down the first layer of crosslinked collagen, upon which

subsequent layers of bone are formed.

 

In failing to mention these, the article fails to alleviate the

confusion.
