Does calcium prevent or cure degenerative diseases like cancer?
There is a theory that calcium is essential for the neutralization of acid in the body. The American diet is reportedly calcium deficient and highly acidifying to the body. Because the blood must maintain a slightly alkaline state, the theory is that calcium is often pulled from bones to neutralize the acidic breakdown byproducts of digestion of excess protein. The most common long-term result is Osteoporosis. A paper in the International Journal of Integrative Medicine by Dr. Susan Brown addresses this topic in more detail. Along with this theory is a theory that a simple saliva pH test is a good indicator of the acidity of the body tissues. This theory is also not generally accepted by the medical community. CORALadvantage both provides calcium to body tissues and provides synergistic support nutrients for calciums many other functions.
