Wish they would have used calcium lactate instead of carbonate
I’m not sure what to make of this information. Should pregnant women avoid calcium supplements and only rely on leafy greens and other whole plant based sources? I would love some clarification. I understand that the poor Gambian women tragically suffered bone loss after their pregnancies. But then, the study with western women said something else. It seemed like the western women for some reason did not suffer the same consequences. Why that is I have no idea. Was the amount of calcium lower?Or did I misunderstand completely? I’m planning to start a family and Im vegan and Im just trying to eat as healthy as possible. It would be great if there was a healthy way to remain on a plantbased diet during pregnancy. Edit: I see now that the western women were already adapted to a higher amount of calcium and therefore didn’t suffer the consequences. However, as a vegan since many years, I think Im probably more like the Gambian women. Not adapted to high amounts of calcium. Im not sure what to do now. Start eating calcium supplements long before pregnancy? And maybe that way I will adapt in time? Or only eat more calcium rich plant foods. No supplements.
This study was flawed because first of all the research says you must take a calcium supplement that also contains magnesium and vitamin D to absorb it, the body cannot absorb single nutrients well at all, and also 1500 mg is way above the RDA level.
so basically if you take 500mg/d, you dont poison the fetus, but you might get osteoporisis once you stop taking it? What about eating more tahini and working out to stimulate bonegrowth?
Can you do a video about this? https://youtu.be/7HbsyF-xBkc Specifically the iron and zinc part. The studies are in the description.
'We didn't know… Until we PUT IT TO THE TEST!' Youuuuuu cheeky! That was your OTHER catchphrase!
Hi..Sir. Are you providing any Online certificate courses on Nutrition ?
Please let me know on

So are the calcium supplements in soy milk and tofu bad? They're not there naturally, they are put in there as a supplement.
I wish he had mentioned high dose vitamin c for lowering lead levels, as discussed in a previous video. This seems a safer method, being beneficial regardless of baseline calcium intake. https://youtu.be/tuxAhzVVI5I
What about chelation Doc?
Will drinking milk in the weekend at my parents negativly impact my bone health or will my body adapt and know how to keep the absorption of calcium on point, if my calcium intake is of the same magnitude (minimum of1200mg/day)
I think supplements may be an exception while pregnant…I could not keep much down for a couple of months and even after that there was a lot of food I just couldn’t handle.
Green smoothies aren’t that nutritious if you puke them back up!
Can you do a video on Serrapeptase?
Thank you, for the info.
The study does not say what the source of the calcium was that they were taking . Most supplements are calcium carbonate , the same as eating rocks. What about an organic source of calcium. What about adding vitamin K2 as well.
Pretty morbid thumbnail there, Doc.
Would you please do a video on healthiest birth control options? Specifically health effects of the copper IUD. I’ve had that for a couple of years now and it’s hard for me to find very many studies on its health implications
They should have just slowly backed those women off of the Calcium supplements so their bodies could adapt.
The problem was poor Calcium management.
Didn't understand the point he was trying to make.
No need if you consume dairy and meat and fish too (animal sourced phospholipid DHA is very important for mothers to have a healthy offspring)
id be much more curious if the calcium in eggshells is fine (OMG NOT VEGAN)
usually synthetic chemicals r differently synthesized and contain inorganic compounds (no carbon atoms) whereas plants/animals contain organic molecules
