Calcium in the Trash, Not the Glass - Other Supplements as well!!

This report reconfirm on my observation of the unethical Marketeers works.

What is the use of paying for something that in the trash?? This happen to other supplements as well. I did not found these until one & a half month ago I when for the Blue Laser Scanner to scan for my free Radical in the body. Anyway, I would write the topic in http://.skincarewellness.blogspot.com you can pick up the free copy of Blue Laser in the site as well.

Now, the best thing to get natural calcium is through drinking of bone stock soup, Fruit juice & Green Vege. That would be the best choice of Calcium & natural vitamin.

- Study Finds Fortified Drinks Don't Deliver What's Promised -

BERKELEY, Calif., Feb. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Everything from soy to orange juice is fortified with calcium these days. But a new study recently published in Nutrition Today* finds that up to 75% of calcium added to popular beverages, like soy drinks and orange juice, gets left at the bottom of the carton. Researchers concluded that existing nutritional labels of these fortified drinks are likely to mislead consumers promising more calcium than they actually deliver.

"This study is really important for people who rely on these beverages to get their calcium every day," states Dr. Celia Brown, MD/Family Practitioner, Woodland Hills, CA. "These findings suggest that in doing so they may be throwing away more calcium than they actually drink."

The three-person medical panel at Creighton University who conducted the study found that -- despite vigorous shaking - -the calcium added to fortified soy and rice beverages settled to the bottom of the container. They concluded that regular hand shaking -- per label instructions -- was not enough to adequately suspend the bone-building nutrient so that it could be consumed. A hardware store paint shaker would be needed for that the researchers found.

Conducted by Creighton's Osteoporosis Research Center, the study compared 14 calcium-fortified beverages (soy, rice, orange juice, etc.) to unfortified, fat-free milk. Of all beverages studied, the research concludes that milk is the most reliable source of calcium.

"This study sheds light on an issue of great public concern as many Americans -- especially kids -- aren't developing adequate bone mass," says Brown.

Over the last 20 to 30 years, there's been a shift away from milk as the standard drink at meals. Government studies show an alarming 86% of teen girls and 64% of teen boys aren't getting enough calcium daily - lacking the equivalent of four glasses of milk per day.**

Research Highlights

- The quality of calcium-fortification in soy/rice beverages and orange
juice is uneven, and may confuse consumers as to the actual calcium
content and benefits.

- Milk scored higher than eight of the 10 orange juice brands and all
four of the soy and rice beverages.

- The study found that milk was the most reliable calcium source and
delivers what the label promises.***
