Magnesium To The Rescue! By: Crusador Interviews Christopher Barr ....Crusador: Tell us more about Dr. Guy E. Abraham, M.D., and his research with magnesium and what he discovered? The work of Dr. Abraham also established the biochemical “whys†and “wherefores†for the superior need of magnesium over calcium for bone health which included detailing how increasing calcium intake actually impedes bone health. In short, increased magnesium intake stimulates the production of calcitonin which causes calcium to be deposited into bone. Magnesium in the Management of Osteoporosis Data are presented which support the theory that most cases of Osteoporosis are not caused by calcium deficiency. http://www.mgwater.com/gaosteo.shtml - - Calcium, Shmalcium In the history of mankind, no lie has been as universally taught to young children, nor been as naively accepted by trusting kids as the dairy industry's milk-myth. Real science has taught the truth about cow's milk: Cow's milk is loaded with calcium, but it has relatively little magnesium. Therefore, this calcium-rich food really does not contribute to bone density. In fact, because of the presence of protein, the consumption of cow's milk actually creates what experts call a " negative calcium balance. " When drinking cow's milk, calcium is actually removed from pre and post-menopausal adult bones. In that regard, milk consumption accelerates osteoporosis. In order to absorb one milligram of calcium, a person must simultaneously eat an equal milligram of magnesium. The above statements are supported by research published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. See: http://notmilk. com/deb/092098. html When examining the calcium benefit of food, one must consider three things. First, the presence of protein which inhibits calcium absorption. Second, the presence of magnesium, which happens to be the center atom of chlorophyll. Third, of course, is the calcium. Consider: Cow's milk contains calcium because cows eat plants. They get calcium and magnesium in the correct proportions and have strong bones as a result. Let's examine a few foods for their calcium and magnesium balances. All foods are measured in 100-gram portions (3.5 ounces). Cow's milk contains 113 milligrams of calcium, but just 10 milligrams of magnesium. Based upon the one-to-one absorption rate, 103 milligrams of calcium are " wasted. " Wasted means one of two things. The excess calcium is either excreted in the urine, or becomes kidney stones or cellulite or placque in arteries. Soy milk contains 38 milligrams of calcium and 25 milligrams of magnesium. Therefore, 25 milligrams of calcium is absorbed. Broccoli contains 47 milligrams of calcium and 21 milligrams of magnesium. Therefore, 21 milligrams of calcium is absorbed. Romaine lettuce contains 33 milligrams of calcium and 14 milligrams of magnesium. Therefore, 14 milligrams of calcium is absorbed. Chick peas (garbanzo beans) contain 32 milligrams of calcium and 29 milligrams of magnesium. Therefore, 29 milligrams of calcium is absorbed. Baked beans contain 50 milligrams of calcium and 32 milligrams of magnesium. Therefore, 32 milligrams of calcium is absorbed. How about a snack? A small handful of raisins contain 50 milligrams of calcium and 32 milligrams of magnesium. A small handful of almonds is super-loaded, containing 248 milligrams of calcium and 275 milligrams of magnesium. Compare that to the 10 milligrams of calcium absorbed in a portion of cow's milk. Even a snack of not-so healthy unsalted potato chips contains 24 milligrams of calcium and 67 milligrams of magnesium. It is virtually impossible to eat any sort of food and not satisfy one's calcium requirements. People living in dairy-consuming nations get osteoporosis. People living in nations in which dairy is not consumed do not suffer bone disease. Even without the benefit of the enormous scientific research we have, shouldn't that be example enough? Robert Cohen http://www.notmilk. com -- 8 Ways Soda Fizzles Your Health We would wager money that many of you are “doing the dew†or “doing what tastes right†this very moment. Before you take another gulp from your soft drink can, here are 8 facts about soda to consider that may drastically affect the quality of your health.    pH of Soda = pH of Vinegar For one, soda, no matter who makes it, is the most acidic beverage you can buy, with a pH of about 2.5, about the same as vinegar. Why does that matter? Acid oxidizes whatever it comes in contact with. If you put soda or vinegar on metal, it will rust it quickly. Check out this table of acid levels of your favorite sodas.   Drink Soda, Leach Calcium If you drink soda, which also contains high levels of phosphorous, you will leach calcium from your bones. Dr. Michael Murray from the Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine concluded, “It appears that increased soft drink consumption is a major factor that contributes to osteoporosis.†Furthermore, Dr. Elson Haas, author of The Detox Diet states, “Tooth loss, periodontal disease, and gingivitis can be problems, especially with a high phosphorus intake, particularly from soft drinks.†more: http://www.waterforlifeusa.com/blog/uncategorized/8-ways-soda-fizzles-your-healt\ h/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
