Calcium and protein discussions . . .

Folks -

You gotta hear and understand, Drs. do not study nutrition in Medical School.

It is not included in the Core Curriculum.

Most of what Drs. know about nutrition is the USDA food pyramid routine, which

is typically 10 years out of date or more.

To learn the best nutrition info, you must read the medical studies (conducted

by researchers and scientists). These are available on MedScape.com or

MedLine.com.

Drs. study how to treat symptoms, how to " cut and paste " (perform surgery), etc.

They do not study how to prevent malnutrition, nor nutrition, nor even (usually)

preventative medicine.

The studies say that *any* low stomach acid population (bypass patients,

elderly, people on acid reducers, etc.) should use calcium citrate, as calcium

carbonate *must* spend 1 hour in stomach acid before it can be absorbed.

Without this time and acid, it forms kidney stones.

Prove it to yourself . . . do some research on MedScape. Prove me wrong . . .

but don't risk your bones and teeth!

Hoping y'all have skinny days, and happy nights! <evil grin>
