I have to disagree with you Elaine about the calcium/magnesium facts. After all my MANY hours of research of magnesium I have found that the standard DR. numbers are twice as much calcium as magnesium, but they based this on the fact that there is twice as much calcium in bones as magnesium and not taking into account that the muscles require a lot of magnesium not to mention it is a cofactor for over 300 enzematic functions. The USA really pushes calcium supplements for osteoporosis, but yet we still have one of the highest rates for that in the world. This is starting to come out. When you read Dr.s and nutritionist , such as Ann Louise Gittleman that are into health not pills, you find this to be the case. Magnesium helps get the calcium into your bones where it belongs. It is also important for detoxification which we are all going to need a lot of!
