Re: Quoteworthy quotes about disease and symptoms
The ratios one may have of nutrients, are much more important than *amounts*.
Variables in diet and skin pigmentation make differences too...
Calcium supplementation became all the rage several decades ago. Why? perhaps because we saw benefit due to an exponential increase in phosphorous\phosphates in the diet from things like conventional (agrichemicals) and processed foods, and drinks such as sodas... not to mention dramatic increases in phosphorus pollution - and weapons use.
People who raise animals know that too much calcium in ratio to phosphorous is bad... and that the converse is also true... both calcium and phosphorous, while needing to be balanced, also affect, and influence, vitamin D need, production, and function.
BTW - the calcium to phosphorous ratios are critical and rarely discussed here.
That is why I find all *studies* need to be taken with a LARGE grain of salt... not to mention the studies do not, and cannot ever take ALL necessary variables into account, as the variables that exist are nearly infinite (well over 80,000 different commercial chemicals, etc.)... and even when these variables are known, cannot be defined in absolution due to any number of metabolic variables, let alone tested for.
The sheer economics of a thorough test of anything, let alone the time element required (would take many generations to test), are astronomical.
