Is Calcium really bad for humans?


Last night I typed in David Wolfe since I saw his website one day about Super Foods. Well, he had a 4 part video on how calcium is terrible for our bodies. The reason for this is because Calcium causes Heart Disease http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9VEz2Px8QM. Now I’m kind of worried because I take Brazil Coral Calcium http://www.brazillivecoral.com/ recommended by Kevin Trudeau, a famous author. So what is the truth? I’m totally confused!

I think its all false promotions. calcium is very very essential for your bones and bone marrows.

It is also required for your tooth cavity protection.

Please don’t get carried away by some false propaganda.

All the best!

    Absolutely not. Calcium is absolutely necessary for nerve function, muscle function, bone strength, and other bodily functions.
    What he means is that TOO MUCH calcium is bad for humans. Just as too much of any other ion mineral is bad for us: iron, potassium, sodium, etc.
    But there are far more people in the world who don’t get enough calcium than there are people who get too much.

    no. calcium is very important in a well-ballanced diet. calcium not only helps make your bones more durable and stronger, it also helps with muscle contraction, nerves, kidneyes, and heart. if you are not getting enough calcium, your bones will become weak and fbrittle. As a result, you may become shorter, have a curved spine, and fracture or break your bones more frequently.

    go a month without getting a drop of calcium then ask again. You might not even make it that long. calcium does not cause heart disease. heart disease is a genetic flaw in most cases. or a virus that the body can’t fight. problems are rarely caused by an outside source regardless of the paranoid BS. that is pounded into everyone’s minds.

    Calcium is great for humans. In fact humans need calcium to grow and get stronger and stay healthy so don’t listen to that guy. It’s just a scam to get you to be scared.

    Most people know that calcium is essential for our bones, but it is also important for nerve conduction, electrolyte and acid/base balance. The parathyoid glands entire function is to control our calcium blood level. Human beings cannot live without calcium.

    That would be pretty strange for someone to have too much calcium unless there was some malfunction of the parathyroids. If it does get too high, a healthy person’s body would naturally discharging excessive calcium through kidneys and urinary system. If someone has too much calcium, he or she probably was already seriously ill.

    That Kevin Trudeau guy sounds like a quack to me.

    You could probably have too much calcium. The truth about your bones is that they stop growing after puberty or around 20 or so. You can’t really help your bones out by taking in so so much calcium, though I wouldn’t recommend getting rid of it completely. The body thrives off of nutrients and minerals and amino acids and such.

    That said, if you consume a lot of protein, your body will actually pull calcium out of your bones to break down the proteins.

    Studies of high dairy (protein and calcium) intake countries actually have more broken bones.

    The commercials are there to get your money.

    Got independent rational thought?

    Peace, good question.

    He may have been talking about calcium from a non-plant source.

    He’s an idiot.
    Calcium is an essential electrolyte, just like chloride, sodium, potassium etc. If you don’t get enough there are physical consequences.
    It’s called hypocalcemia. Your body will actually leach calcium out of your bones to make up the difference.

    PS, you know Kevin Trudeau is being investigated for fraud in several states, right?
    Seriously.
