Calcium does not build bones. This is one of the biggest misconceptions out there. This statement comes from one of the world’s leading authorities on nutrition. This is David Wolfe and he’s here to debunk some of our nutritional myths.

But first of all, let’s talk a little bit about David Wolfe. Who is David Wolfe? David Wolfe is the author of many nutrition books, including Naked Chocolate, Amazing Grace, Eating for Beauty, and Sunfood Diet Success System. Working with the sunfood organization, they have been responsible for developing, marketing and distributing some of the most incredible and exotic organic foods in the world. They are also the first to deliver raw organic superfoods like Inca Berries, Cocoa Butter, Cocoa Powder, Goji Berries, Maca Extract, Encapsulated Mangosteen Powder, Cocoa Beans, and Cold-Pressed Coconut Oil to North America.

David Wolfe, with a BS in Political Science, Mechanical and Environmental Engineering, a Juris Doctor, and an MS in Live Food Nutrition, is also part of Dr. Gabriel Cousen’s Master’s program in Live Food Nutrition. He hosts at least six fitness, health and adventure retreats each year at various retreats around the world. He has already given more than 1,000 health conferences and seminars in Canada, Europe, the South Pacific, Central America, South America, and the United States.

David Wolfe is as of now already completing several new books and on top of that he also plays drums for the raw rock and roll band called The Healing Waters.

So, with that David Wolfe background, let’s talk now about his debunking of calcium. David Wolfe says that calcium does not make bones strong. When people don’t have much bone density, they think they don’t have calcium, but this is not true. In fact, even if we eat, for example, oyster shell calcium, we will only absorb, at best, a 1-2% increase in our bone density. And we all know that 1 or 2% is not enough.

For David Wolfe, what increases bone density is the intake of silicon and magnesium. The best source of magnesium would be cocoa. Yes, cocoa or raw chocolate. Chocolate is even good for your teeth because it kills the Streptococcus organism that causes cavities. It is sugar that is bad for our teeth, not chocolate. So the best source of silicon would be cucumber skin, pepper skin, and tomato skin. Silicon can also be found in certain specialty herbs such as horsetail, nettle, alfalfa, and oat straw.

So if you want to have bone density. Stop taking calcium. Start taking magnesium and silicon. I hope this new information has helped you change your perspective on food because there are still more new science, food and nutrition updates yet to be discovered.

Help spread the world and start living healthy. Good luck!
