In the Latest Flip Flop of Science… Calcium

Milk - It May Do a Body Good, But It Won't Do Much for Your Diet

In the latest food and weight news, scientists have decided that taking extra calcium doesn’t do a thing to help us lose weight. So all of those people who were choking down calcium pills simply to lose weight, can find a new supplement to take the place of the hard work of dieting and exercise.

I kind of love watching these scientific flip flops because it just goes to prove how little we really understand about the magic that is the chemistry of our bodies. But any woman who has felt a baby grow inside her could have told you that there was nothing she did to make those little fingers and toes pop out at just the right time, to make the first smiles happen, or to teach that baby how to open her eyes. We don’t understand how the whole magic of life works, and I sincerely doubt that scientists ever will.

    And I sincerely hope that scientists NEVER will! How could there be magic if they did? As for, specifically calcium, it not only doesn’t help you to lose weight, taking too much of it either thru supplements and/or diet can actually hurt your kidneys! Everything in moderation…..

Got something to say?

    You’ve got to get hands-on, get stuck in and extract the most from the food in the most primal way. Use your hands to crush and combine the fresh herbs, garlic, and spices. Massage the marinade into the meat, and press the seasonings in with your hands instead of using a brush. — Adam Perry Lang, “BBQ 25″
