Calcium is an essential mineral for numerous body functions, including - muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, blood clotting as well as to build and maintain healthy bones.
However, some studies have shown that taking supplemental calcium may also increase your risk of stroke and heart attack.
Contrary to popular belief, this mineral is provided by a wide variety of foods, and to get the recommended daily intake of 1,000 milligrams per day, you don't need cow's milk, yogurt, cheese or butter.
For example, according to world health statistics, osteoporosis is most common in precisely those countries where dairy products are consumed in the largest quantities - Finland, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Sweden. Interesting, don't you think?
