>> "And calcium requires magnesium, and a whole lot of other nutrients, to function properly, especially for bones. Yet magnesium can interfere with phosphatase."
I know you understand this with that statement... the feed back loop that the body uses to help maintain some sense of homeostasis. This is but one of thousands of examples that include vitamins such as the B vitamins that can dramatically affect mineral metabolism as can C, etc. etc. (any acid can affect an alkaline substance vis versa) it is all connected... with the body's feedback loops, and everything functioning properly, a mineral in over abundance will cause the body to switch off need for that mineral and switch on the need for one or more of its antagonists through signals.
>> "protein blocks calcium absorption"
A blanket statement that is partially incorrect IMO.
Normal intake of proteins, fats and acidic foods promote calcium absorption... over consumption promotes malabsorption first, and then loss, if the over consumption continues.
Most of the Science used today is performed on single proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals (oftentimes synthetics), and adulterated foods grown or raised using NPK, fertilizers and pesticides, not to mention Antibiotics and hormones; foods that, as a result are very high in NPN, among other things. This dramatically skews the "scientific" tests and makes them void IMO. We have to look beyond that, read between the lines understanding the science, and extrapolate it to what it would be using unadulterated foods.
Easier said than done, but not so confusing once one understands the alkaline\acid, positive\negative aspects of it all.
This then only scratches the surface due to the variable of the adaptive traits of human ethnically centric cultures across the globe, some of which depended heavily upon animal dairy as a main source of food.
The best medicine for one, may be poison for the other...
