I agree with you on much and will definitely think about this further, but I sense that you don't discriminate between mineral/nutrient forms, and that you believe problems are more associated with the body's inability to neutralize, absorb, or eliminate for whatever reason.

I cannot agree with that assessment because I strongly believe that there are incorrect forms of minerals/nutrients that can indeed accumulate within the extracellular spaces of the body or that forced metabolism can be detrimental to health -- even with individuals that possess an ability to better handle these forms.

Just to clarify, that is NOT to say there is an "excess". You misunderstand. Its an excess in the wrong place and of the wrong type. If anything, there's a deficiency of real calcium the body can and should have to use. Referring back to my grandmother's case, she's the poster granny for this scenario. And I'm suggesting that her obsession with consuming the wrong kind mineral/nutient could in fact be a large factor in her failing health. So in essence it could be calcium's fault -- calcium of the wrong form.

I don't subscribe to the notion that "a mineral is a mineral is a mineral". As such, I believe there is an optimum to what each organism consumes and that necessitates the organism to make good choices. I'm afraid your approach tends to blame and theorize about co-factors and environmental influences as primary causation, but to me that takes some health empowerment and responsibility away from the individual and also accepts the idea that we could all be eating rocks if all of these balances were in harmony.

Its certainly fascinating that the presence of excess fluoride hampers the absorption of calcium, or that in some cases a large amount of calcium can neutralize acidity and thus disease; or that imbalance potentials exist due to environment, but all this is rather irrelevant if you believe health and longevity principles are simple. I most certainly do.

Obeying the parameters of your own innate physiological capability will bring all these balances and correct synergies back, and you will be able to fend off bad environment. Toxic environments have always existed (whether human created or not) and its simply a choice to avoid or be incredibly vigilant in your life if you choose to endure. But above all, if you make good decision in what and how you nutritionally sustain yourself, you can overcome most toxic environments. So really, we are "out of whack" mostly by our own choice.

This is not to say all this Science and study is not useful. It certainly can be, but for many in this world its a tool for exploitation and ego aggrandizement. ;-)

Thanks again, take care.
