Vitamin Cautions Explained

Precautions exist for Folic Acid, Selenium, Beta Carotene, Vitamins A, B1, B6, B12, C, D, & E. Why there are so many DESIGN FLAWS in multi-vitamin formulas may be a mystery to some, but after discovering the new vitamin reality presented on this website, the mystery will disappear. 

Have you heard this before?

New large study research found an association between higher vitamin B6 (>35mg) and B12 (>20 mcg) intakes with 50% increased risk of hip fractures. article The reason is unknown!

FUN FACTS

Plants and trees take in CO2 from the atmosphere to help growth. As CO2 levels increase from the burning of fossil fuels, volcano eruptions, and melting permafrost, plants and trees have been busy growing faster and larger. In fact this fun fact has lead to the re-greening of many non plant areas of the planet. NASA over the last decade has been measuring this effect from satellites in space taking pictures. article

So far, this re-greening has impacted an area twice the size of the continental United States with new plant and tree coverage. This will significantly slow down any climate changes as this new green area growth will absorb quite a lot of future CO2 emissions. This gives Nations more time to make and implement non CO2 energy changes.

Calcium on Mortality

DateMonday, December 7, 2020 at 6:58PM

This is important enough to get it's own article. Note, the next referenced study is just an observational study over time so it lacks cause and effect factors. ref ref  This Swedish study found that those taking supplemental calcium who already had a higher food calcium intake, exhibited a higher mortality risk. This risk of death from any cause was two and a half times greater than in those individuals consuming foods with a dietary calcium amount between 600 mg and 999 mg. The high dietary calcium intake was 1400 mg or more.

Supplemental calcium without a high dietary calcium intake did not exhibit increased mortality. A later meta-analysis found slightly different effects for calcium on mortality. ref  A case is starting to be built up. ref ref Other articles on this website deal with these.

A serving of dairy has about 300 mg. of calcium. That is the amount in an eight ounce glass of milk. Many glasses hold more than 8 oz.  Plus, calcium is added to many other foods, like orange juice, breakfast cereals, and granola bars. It is far to easy to reach 1400 mg of calcium if dairy is consumed.  

There are probably a number of factors that influence calcium directions in the body. This next reference talks about the ratio of phosphorus to calcium.  ref  Phosphorus is also present in many cola drinks. Another vital factor is the balance between calcium and magnesium. Ideally it should be about one and a half to one. Check out magnesium facts here. (especially the CA:MG ratio on colon cancer polyps)

Another aspect for calcium concerns vitamin K2 that guides calcium into proper body areas like bones and keeps it out of arteries and other soft tissues.

Vitamin D also plays a significant role on calcium. Since vitamin D will increase calcium absorption under certain conditions, a already high calcium and or vitamin D dietary intake might be counter productive. article

This is one of the most vital issues that science has to settle NOW.

One point often mentioned in studies is this: Dietary calcium up to a point appears protective while adding extra calcium supplements are potentially detrimental. There is more to the story.
