Laurie - Whats your view on this hypothesis?

Hi Laurie,

 Have you seen this hypothesis on calcium intake and how it conceivably
relates to osteo****osis? I wondered what your take was on it? I posted it
on the vegsource raw-vegan forum, the one hosted by 'your mate', Dr Doug
Graham. A more likely friend of yours, John Coleman, gave it short shrift,
claiming that it was written by 'misguided people' who 'misrepresent
scientific-findings' and assured me that we humans need to make sure we
get 'plenty' (whatever that means!) of calcium. But then Coleman once told
me that another article i sourced (about menstruation) was 'full of
errors', never really clarified what they were and simply informed me it
was 'natural' and that chimps had been observed menstruating, both in the
wild and in captivity. Maybe the ones in captivity aren't being fed their
correct diet (?) and the ones in the wild were foolish enough to suck on
that meat juice, or gather some insects, causing internal toxicity?  

 Anyway, what do you think of it? It seems self-apparent to me that -any-
excess of -any- nutrient will play a detrimental role on the organism and
possibly wear out any structures or functions relating to it, similar to
how excess protein damages the kidneys and more. Or the strain placed upon
the gall bladder and liver, in the inuit, from consuming too much fat,
causing swollen organs.
