  • Stop taking that calcium supplement, it's not helping your bones, and it IS increasing your risk of serious medical problems. I know, I know, we've been told for years it was vital for bone health, but it's not.
    Stop drinking more than one small glass of milk daily. If you don't like milk then don't drink it at all. It doesn't help your bones, and definitely increases your risk of serious medical issues.
    You don't need calcium supplements for your bones, but I will tell you what you do need.

    In full agreement with you Dr Berry. Been trying to tell my family forever. Haven't drunk milk since I was 2. Im 59. I told them, humans are the only "critter" to drink milk past infancy. Good gracious...Adult cows MAKE milk, but do not drink it. They eat their greens. Not a Dr or RN. A retired CNA, with a little common sense. Loving your videos.

    My mom never drank milk nor took calcium supplements. She did eat a cup of cottage cheese regularly and ice cream occasionally throughout her life tho.

    Dr Berry, Thank you for spreading the word! I wish I’d found your channel sooner. Perhaps it could have extended my 88-yo Mom’s life. She drank milk daily and took daily calcium supplements for severe osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Earlier this year, she fell, broke her hip and, post surgery, was gone within 24 hours. Scans revealed severe coronary artery calcification and a evidence of a heart attack before after the fall (or during surgery). She was slender, non-smoker, non-drinker who avoided exercise and loved her (“diet”) cookies and ice cream. She was of the generation that bought the hype that (nutritionless) low cal, low fat, high-carb processed diet food was “healthy.” She suffered from numerous systemic diseases, including acid reflux, hiatal hernia, hypothyroid, diverticulitis, depression, IBS, retinopathy and spinal stenosis. She spent the last 2 years of her life in a wheelchair, visiting doctors. Yet she had 5 MD specialists (cardiologist, pulmonologist, internist, gastroenterologist, ophthalmologist and pain management team) who failed to collectively put 2 + 2 together and diagnose her with insulin resistance and systemic inflammation. My living tribute to her is to take your advice, educate myself and others and avoid her mistakes. She was an artist whose mind was sharp until her final day. Following your plan, she might have lived to 100, as she was SO (blindly) conscientious about her health, and did everything her doctors recommended. I will certainly share your channel with others.

You need barely any calcium from your diet as an adult, you've got tons of it in storage that your body can just pull from in case there's an increased demand and during stages where calcium is available in the diet, it'll be stored.

    This is absolutely true. I used CalCMag for +/- 6 years. I am 67 and in good health. All of a sudden I got some nasty pains in my lower back. I had it for about 6 months and being health conscious tried to do some research by myself. I started with the CalCMag and discovered that my kidney tubes were block due to the calcium making a lining in my tubes. I immediately stopped it and after 3 days the pain went away. I had to clean the kidney tubes with beer to wash away the build-up that caused a very uncomfortable urination. Since then I have been healed. My nephew drinks calcium for years and was always complaining about his prostate. He is 54. I warned him against calcium, but he would not listen. Then one day he said that he has heartburn, which he never gets. It turned out to be a heart attack in the making. 3 days later he got the attack. He had to undergo surgery for 4 stents in his heart. He bought CalCMag again after the op. I fought with him every day and finally said to him that I am tired of fighting and asked him to watch your video. He finally believed me and said that it makes perfect sense what you say, after I forced him to watch and listen to your video. Thanks Dr Berry, it was very interesting

    It’s disappointing that there was no mentioning of peri- and post-menopause and their effects on bone health in this video. Women need to know that estrogen loss causes major bone loss. This is established scientific fact. Yet most women are not aware until they sustain a fracture. This doctor missed an opportunity to reach women here and put it on their radar for further exploration, if nothing else. Menopause and its consequences for a woman’s long-terms health is still a very neglected topic.

      True about calcium supplements but NOT true about milk. They are COMPLETELY different. Milk is in part what makes babies bones grow (and sleep too). When was the last time you saw a baby drinking plants ? Calcium that comes from milk is in natural form so it's not bad for you. Calcium supplements on the other hand are not natural. They are synthetic and they cause kidney stones because they usually are manufactured from limestone rock and form carbonate whereas there is no rock in milk

I have never been informed about calcium not being good for my heart and I've seen many cardiologists and done cardiac rehab 3 separate times. So much for the bone density tests they do on you for a physical. I did weight training and cardio for most of my life. It's just in the last few years because of health issues that I stopped weight training. Guess I'll be getting back into the gym for weight lifting. I do take vitamin D daily as I'm aware of the need for that. Thank you for sharing such good info Dr Berry. I think I'll be watching your videos more now.

    I was diagnosis with osteoporosis and my doctor said vit D only forget the calcium. I also
    started on collagen protein powder from the bovine [taken from beef hide]. Collagen is an
    important staple since body doesn't produce much with age. Much safer than taking a
    pill like fosamax or inj of prolia. Too many side effects from these drugs.

      Its annoying their conclusion is that calcium supplements are bad while if you take it with k2 and d3 its a great idea

    Thank you for this!!! I was an avid milk drinker up until 1.5 years ago. I stopped it cold turkey and feel so much better!
    My question is, what age do you recommend for children to stop milk? I have a Day Care and we are required by the state to serve milk twice a day. If they are over 18 month we are required to serve 1% milk. I can honestly say 90% of the kids have chronic constipation. I am positive it’s from the milk they drink (along with the pop tarts and bagged muffins they bring in everyday)
    One of my son in laws was raised on a dairy and he totally believes in drinking milk. Just the thought of drinking milk now turns my stomach.

      Forget milk, that's only a minor issue compared to the tens of things you and the vast majority of people are doing wrong. Like farming, eating "vegetable" oils, eating refined sugars, drinking coffee, eating excessive carbohydrates etc. Not to mention the literal poison known as soda.
      None of those are natural and none of those are good for health. None of them were there 20,000 years ago. Look at the big picture.

    I just found this video and about had a heart attack. I’ve been taking calcium supplements for about 5 years. I switched to calcium when I took myself off of fosamax. I was on fosamax for 12 years because I was told that I had osteopenia. Wake up call was when I was just walking into my kitchen my femur snapped in two and I landed on the floor. I now have a rod in my femur to hold it together because the break has not fused 100%. Only about 60%of the bone fused. Took me 10 years and 6 orthopedic doctors before one would listen to me about feeling pain around the fracture. It’s in your head they said. Finally found one who took X-rays, MRI, CTs and really Looked at them. He looked at me and said you have a Bisphosphonate fracture. I literally cried because someone validated what I had known for years. The year before I had a small fall and shattered my wrist. No more calcium for me. Thank so much for these wonderful videos.

      Bull Durham, I sure hope that you feel better now that you have aired it out! We can tell that you are very well educated and are capable of writing a good term paper!
      Congrats!
