The Calcium Conspiracy

Calcium is an essential mineral to the body. The body’s bones and teeth are primarily comprised of Calcium.

Calcium is the fifth most abundant element in the human body and occurs mainly in the bone. The body requires calcium ions for the transmission of nerve impulses, muscle contraction, blood coagulation, cardiac functions, and other processes. It is a component of extracellular fluid and of soft tissue cells.

In the United States dairy products are the major dietary sources of this element. The daily dietary allowances recommended by the Federal Food and Nutrition Board vary from 360 mg for infants to 1200 mg for women 15 to 18 years of age. Only around one-third of the calcium ingested is actually absorbed.

Most of us think of the color white when calcium is mentioned. This is because we are programmed to believe that dairy products are what will deliver the mineral to our bodies. Instead of white, start thinking of calcium is green. Calcium phosphate is only found in plants and primarily green plants!

Avoid white-colored sources of calcium, like dairy or calcium supplements. These are not sourced organically and can contain synthetic hormones. Stick with natural forms of Calcium instead.

Dairy Products and Disease

With all the dairy products Americans consume, especially females, we shouldn’t be faced with any diseases pertaining to lack of calcium. However, America leads the world in incidences of osteoporosis.

This could be because we are consuming the wrong kind of calcium. Our bodies need calcium phosphate, which is completely digestible and absorbable. This type of calcium is derived from plants. Most of us get the animal sourced calcium which include:

  • Calcium carbonate
  • Calcium lactate
  • Calcium citrate
  • Calcium gluconate

Natural Sources of Calcium Phosphate

Calcium phosphate is readily found in nature through plants. This is a completely natural source that is most beneficial to the body. Plants contain this mineral include:

Adding these calcium-rich foods to your diet is an easy way to boost health and get the calcium your body needs.
