Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. Osteoprosis is not a calcium deficiency problem. So many people have in their mind that if I have

osteoporosis, I need to start drinking a lot of milk,

start taking calcium.

So they start taking like 500 milligrams of calcium carbonate

every day, expecting their osteoporosis to magically go away.

Well, there's some very interesting data that talks about calcium supplementation

not only not helping you with osteoporosis or reducing the refractures from osteoprosis, but increasing the risk for heart attacks and even stroke.

And I'm going to put some links down below. One study talked about if you took

500 milligrams of calcium every day it potentially could increase the risk of

heart attacks by 30% and risk of getting a stroke by 20%.

Now in a review from 2018, using the routine use of calcium and vitamin D did not reduce the risk of osteoporotic fractures, but it did

increase the risk of kidney stones. Now the thing about calcium is that it's very, very

tightly regulated.

So if you get too much calcium, it becomes very, very toxic,

very similar to too much iron or too much copper,

versus other minerals like magnesium or potassium, you can get a lot of that and

your body will get rid of it but not calcium. Too much calcium is very toxic to your cells.

And if you look at certain health conditions as people get older,

they're just filling up with toxic calcium.
