The daily intake of calcium is very scarce in poor nations, and the intake of proteins with diet, in particular those of animals, is also very scarce. Here, and here the problem is reversed: no more a deficiency disease (of Calcium), but a disease of well-being, an Excess disease: an excess of Protein. And animal foods rich in calcium, as you well know by now synonymous with milk and derivatives, are also rich in animal proteins.
But what is the connection between high consumption of proteins and osteoporosis? The answer lies in biochemistry . The animal proteins, being rich in sulphured amino acids, when they are degraded they produce acid waste (sulfuric acid), the most acidic that the organism is able to generate, and that it must eliminate as soon as possible. But because these acid products can pass through the delicate mucous membranes of the urinary tract, they must be neutralized, and the buffer that the Organism uses is just Calcium. That mineral that is deposited in the bone and makes it resistant to small and large stresses, year after year, for life.
The intake of a food rich in calcium, but also rich in animal protein, will cause such a production of acid waste that all the calcium that this food contains must be used as buffer. Often this amount of calcium is not enough, and the body must add "its". The result is that the Bone, day after day, yields more Calcium than the Diet cannot provide it, inevitably going towards a reduction of the Bone Mass, a process called "Osteoporosis" . The quantity of calcium contained in a food is therefore not as important as the property of this food does not subtract calcium from the organism: it is the concept of the football balance sheet, which only if it remains positive (that is, when the income exceeds the expenditure) allows you to preserve Bone Health.

As a Nutritionist Biologist consultant in natural nutrition I would like to give the following advice: "Calcium pills are useless". This disease is closely related to the metabolism of the calcium element: the absolute uselessness of the administration of calcium salts in pills and tablets has been highlighted. Therefore my personal consideration is to avoid wasting time and money on supplements and medicines that are not needed.
FOODS THAT PREVENT SOCIAL RELAXATION OR KEEP THE BODY
- Dairy product
- Concentrated sugars, fructose, artificial sweeteners
- Milk, Yogurt, Cheese, Ice Cream
- Honey
- High-protein foods
- Solanaceae
- Meat Poultry
- eggs
- Cured meat
- Peppers and pepper
- Wine
- Citrus fruits
- Vinegar
- Lemon (especially in tea)
- Coffee
- Alcohol
- Grapefruit
- Alcohol free drinks
- Tropical fruit juices
- Refined salt Lifestyle
- Antacid medicines
- Smoke
- Lack of exercise
The table above shows foods and habits that can prevent calcium absorption. Oxalic, citric and phytic acids can bind to calcium in the intestine and form insoluble salts that cannot be assimilated. This happens if the bran is added to a food (usually refined) as a food supplement, while whole grains (especially rice) have a beneficial regulatory effect in the assimilation of minerals.
I recommend a beautiful and complete book: THE CHINA STUDY by T. Colin Campbell, in which the studies on the relationship between diet and diseases of our time are reported in full.
