these relate to hypercalcemia, a disease usually arising form idiopathic
hyperthyroidism or cancer. what does this have to do with your original
claim: that artificial calcium builds up but natural forms don't?  you still
havent even defined what you consider to be natural and artificial forms of
calcium.

 >http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF->8&q=excess+of+calcium
this refers to excess of calcium. again, this doesnt help for the same
reasons.

 >http://www.anapsid.org/hypercal.html
this refers to excess calcium in lizards. i dont think this is relevant.
 >Do a search on toxicity of vit? or a mineral.

would it be correct to say you actually have no idea if artificial vitamins
build up in the body, whereas their natural counterparts
are flushed out in excess?
after all, how does a artificial B vitamin build up when it is water
soluble?
and how does a natural vitamin A not build up when it is oil-soluble? what i
want is a reference to a scientific study which shows this actually happens.
can you provide ONE scientific reference to you claim?

broccoli contains about 48mg calcium per 100 grams. so to get 1 gram of
calcium [which i think undershoots the mark somewhat] you would need to eat
2kg of broccoli. do you seriously regard this as a viable source of calcium?

sources,
let's be quite clear: vitamin A [retinoic acid] is not found in any plants.
its not good enough to be so slipshod as to confuse this. it might be ok for
a complete layperson to say there is vitamin A in carrots. but not if you
ant to learn soemthing or put yourself forward as an authority as Dr
Schvitsman does.


I'm not sure about his claim with vitamin B12. Maybe he was talking about a
fortified carrot juice. Too many foods are now fortified, upsetting balance.

an interesting read. but now i would like to ask if you have read any
scientific studies which also supports the idea promoted by Dr Schvitsman?

these are all worthy points and no one disputes them. but they werent the
points you were originally making.


 >Are you just playing devils advocate?
not at all. i was asking for evidence to back up your claims. you still have
not provided any.

 >I don't understand why you eat paleo if you think supplements >are needed
or are Ok.
Ive explained why: I cant stand the taste of liver and kidney, and i dont
have access to sea mammals. also shellfish is too exprensive to be eaten a
lot.

 >I Think it is better to listen to my body rather then scientific >research
because it is limited
i would like to have both. others would too. but you could have just stated
from the beginning that this is what you believe, even though there is no
scientific evidence.  That's quite acceptable. what is not acceptable is to
pretend there is scientific evidence to back your claim when there is none,
or when you are unable to provide any.
