>Dr. Walter Willett, chair of the Department of Nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, thinks you’re likely to do just as well on half as much calcium.
>”Essentially, I think that adults do not need 1,200 mg of calcium a day. The World Health Organization’s recommendation of 500 mg is probably about right. The United Kingdom sets the goal at 700 mg, which is fine, too. It allows for a little leeway,” he says.
Was not set by dairy interest.
It was set during a time when osteoporosis rates were climbing.
They didn’t realize the relevance of proper vitamin D levels for calcium absorption and that your body needs the signal to strengthen bone (working out or any physical activity) during this time.
I can believe that because the USA ended up with strategic cheese-caves and schools struggling to feed so much excess dairy to children through the lunch program… yes dairy interests probably had a hand in it.
Humans can get enough calcium through broccoli or something.
I think there was a post recently about how it was a good thing that calcium was removed from a vegan milk substitute product.
The China Study suggests dairy is why we have so many health and diabetes issues.
I am sure the billion dollar dairy, meat, and commercial farming industry has some ‘science’ and curriculum of their own taught at universities. Its a good business practice to train the doctors with ‘indoctrination’ that makes you $$$
sometimes i wonder if that’s the case of vitamin D, i’ve been to a lot of doctors that saw my rates just a little bit under the recommended and prescribed a supplement (and that happened to a lot of people i know too)
