If you believe that bones are made of calcium, you have subscribed to The Calcium Lie. You're not alone.

Most consumers and, surprisingly, most doctors, believe that bones are made of calcium.

Yet any basic biochemistry textbook will tell you the truth: Bones are made of at least a dozen minerals and we need all of them in perfect proportions in order to have healthy bones and healthy bodies.

If you get too much calcium, through food sources or by taking supplements, you set yourself up for an array of negative health consequences, including obesity, Type 2 diabetes, Type 2 hypothyroidism, hypertension, depression, problem pregnancies and more.

Dr. Thompson and Kathleen Barnes have broken new ground in dispelling The Calcium Lie and other medical myths. It's about time! I congratulate them for challenging these deeply held beliefs that have no basis in science.

"This is a revolutionary book that asks all of us - doctors and patients alike - to re-think our assumptions about health and nutrition. It should dispel for once and for all the myth that calcium supplements will give us strong bones. It's a real eye opener!".

There is nothing mysterious or speculative about The Calcium Lie. It's based on the basic biochemistry that every doctor studies in medical school, yet never seems to apply. Sadly, most doctors have forgotten that mineral co-factors are involved in every biochemical reaction in our bodies. Mineral balance or imbalance is so crucial that having the correct balance can be a matter of life or death. Everyone should read this excellent book and for every doctor it's a "must read."
