I don't entirely, that's why I'm starting this thread.....
I know it's important for hypothyroid people to get enough calcium (and RP recommends 2,000 mg. for those who are really hypothyroid), but what sort of ratios do we need of potassium, sodium and magnesium to calcium? How can we attain the best pH levels (aside from the calcium to phosphorus ratio)?
This was an interesting little write-up (although some of the recommendations are questionable): Read about alkaline minerals here.
What do you think of this sentence about milk in Western cultures?
"Milk today is pasteurised and homogenised, and the calcium in this unnatural form is difficult to digest. These processed dairy products are highly acid-forming, and although a cup of milk contains nearly 300 mg of calcium, the little you are able to absorb is lost in combating the acidity it forms."
