Calcium does not build bones. This is one of the biggest misconceptions in history. This statement comes from one of the world’s leading authorities on nutrition. This is David Wolfe and he is here to debunk some of our nutritional myths.
But first of all let’s talk a little about David Wolfe. Who is David Wolfe? David Wolfe is the author of many nutrition books, namely Naked Chocolate, Amazing Grace, Eating for Beauty, and Sunfood Diet Success System. Working with the solar food organization, they have been responsible for developing, marketing and distributing some of the most incredible and exotic organic food in the world. They are also the first to deliver raw organic superfoods such as Inca berries, cocoa butter, cocoa powder, goji berries, maca extract, encapsulated mangosteen powder, cocoa beans, and cold-pressed coconut oil in North America.
David Wolfe, with a BA in political science, mechanical and environmental engineering, a JD in law, and an MA in live food nutrition, is also part of Dr. Gabriel Cousen’s MSc program in live food nutrition. He organizes at least six fitness, health and adventure retreats each year at various retreats around the world. He has already delivered more than 1,000 health conferences and seminars in Canada, Europe, the South Pacific, Central America, South America, and the United States.
David Wolfe as of now is already completing several new books and in addition, he is also playing drums for the rock and roll band called The Healing Waters.
So with that background on David Wolfe, let’s now talk about his discrediting of calcium. David Wolfe says that calcium does not build bones. When people don’t have a lot of bone density, people think they don’t have calcium, but this is not true. In fact, even if we eat, for example, oyster shell calcium, we will only get at best a 1 or 2% increase in our bone density. And we all know that 1 or 2% is not enough.
For David Wolfe, what increases bone density is the absorption of silicon and magnesium. The best source of magnesium would be cocoa. Yes, raw cocoa or chocolate. Chocolate is even good for teeth because it kills the Streptococcus organism that causes cavities. It is the sugar that is bad for our teeth, not the chocolate. Silicon can also be found in certain specialty herbs like horsetail, nettle, alfalfa, and oat straw.
So if you want to have bone density. Stop taking calcium. Start consuming magnesium and silicon. I hope this new information has helped you change your perspective on food because there are more new updates on science, food and nutrition yet to be discovered.
Help spread the world and start living healthy. Good luck!
