[blparent] calcium truth and legend was: Re: (no subject)

Sat Feb 14 16:37:19 UTC 2009

Um, Amber, i hate to tell you this, but Tammy is right when she says that 
milk helps with heartburn and indegestion.  And, I don't know any pregnant 
women who stay away from milk entirely.  But, I do take a calciumk suplement 
everyday, twice a day along with my vitamins.

>> Hi,
>>
>> ok, much of the below is completely untrue. First let me say that 
>> everyone is entitled to and of course here encouraged to share opinions 
>> and this is fine when they are just that, opinions.
>> However, much of the below, while stated as fact, is anything but.
>>
>> firstly, the dreaded enemy milk.
>> Milk is in fact often a woman's saviour.
>> Before trying calcium supplements see below.
>> Most nutritionists will tell you that if you can use a natural source of

>> Far from being the cause of indigestion, it often eases it, indigestion 
>> is very often the cause of the dreaded pregnancy related heart burn that 
>> many of us experience and a glass of milk when you have heartburn will 
>> very often ease it completely.
>> Now for calcium supplements.
>> The problem with calcium is that it is only absorbed into the body in the

>> necessarily a good remedy for osteoporosis, the truth is they just don't 
>> work.
>> If your calcium supplement does not contain magnesium, you are being sold 
>> a pup and in many supplements particularly so called health supplements 
>> this is very much the case.
>> They just don't do what they say.
>> Which brings us to the studies   not really actually quoted below.
>> The British medical journal:

>> investigation revealed that many of these studies are not in fact 
>> independent.
>> Without knowing the actual study sighted below it's impossible to say 
>> whether this fits.
>> Caution: if you are allergic to or intolerant to milk, then of course a 
>> calcium supplement is by far your best bet but expensive is not 
>> necessarily better.
>> Also, beware of posts like the below that make all traditional medicine 
>> practitioners such as doctors, nutritionist, etc, out to be this evil 
>> conspiracy group.
>> In general these opinions are flawed also.
>> In fact the so called natural health sector is far more likely to contain 
>> fraudulent practitioners as it is very difficult to regulate and has

>> Many supplements are just that, snake oil by another name, be very
