Toxic Toddy's

Ok, so sometimes we find ourselves having to take medicine or a vitamin supplement, but please don't just assume it is all safe! Do your homework. Look for a natural and non-invasive way before you reach for the pill bottle.

CALCIUM
WHAT IT IS: Calcium is an essential mineral for the growth and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth and for blood clotting, muscle contraction, healthy nerves and good hormone function. It is usually taken by women to boost bone health.

POTENTIAL SIDE-EFFECTS: Research published last month by Auckland and Aberdeen universities reflected other studies in finding a 30 per cent increased risk of heart attack among women taking calcium supplements - most women taking them are postmenopausal and concerned about osteoporosis.

This increase is due to the risk of calcium supplements accelerating the hardening of blood vessels. Doctors involved with a 2008 New Zealand study advise women of 70 or older not to take calcium supplements.

I would suggest looking at food sources of calcium such as
Cheese, Yogurt, Milk, Sardines
Dark leafy greens like spinach, kale, turnips, and collard greens,
Fortified orange juice, Soybeans, Fortified soymilk (Not all soymilk is a good source of calcium, so it's best to check the label.)
