Calcium Paradox

Sep 20, 2011 // by Team FPS // bone health, calcium, calcium paradox, diabetes, General, high blood pressure, hypertension, magnesium, obesity, osteoporosis, thyroid, vitamin d, vitamin k2 // Comments Off

Dietary calcium deficiency results in calcium being placed where it does not belong – in the soft tissues – and this happens at the expense of our bones causing dysfunctions like hypertension, arteriosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and degenerative joint disease. Inappropriate calcification occurs ironically due to a lack of calcium. [...]
