Testing The 'Excessive Calcium' Theory

 

 

 

We have provided you with information that indicates that a high calcium diet increases osteoporosis risk, but how can we bring this information to the general public?

By proving that we are right. When tests have shown that we are right, there are always media that will bring the truth into the open. If we manage to do so, we can save millions of lives. 

 

Luckily, it is very easy to do the required tests. 

Students can do these tests, to low execution costs.

Please inform us about your plans.

 

What do you need? 

 

- room for a few cages.

- young mice, post weaning

- mice feedings

- 4 years of feeding the mice daily

- analysis of the mice after they have died naturally. Of course, the results need to be adjusted for hormone levels, locomotor activity and body weight.

 

 

 

The test "the influence of lifetime calcium intake on bone health"

In this test you need at least 3 groups of mice. 

The diet of each group contains a different amount of calcium, varying from very little to very much calcium. 

The feedings in this test take a bit more work, because all groups need to consume the same feedings, with calcium contents as the only variable. 

All mice are fed dehydrated beef and fruits only, and drinking water. (no nuts because of their high calcium contents)

Calcium will be added to the drinking water of all mice except for the 'low-calcium' group, differing per group. The drinking water needs to be low-mineral water, like Volvic, El Dorado or Montcalm.

After the mice have died naturally, their bones need to be examined for porosity (porosity is NOT about bone density, but about voids that undermine the structure of the bone, making it weaker regardless of bone mineral density),, and related to age.

 

The calcium contents of the diet of the 'low-calcium' group [1], needs to be about 0.02%. (research the calcium contents of different fruits)

The 'medium' group [2] needs a little calcium supplementation in the drinking water to create a 0.04% calcium diet.

The 'high-calcium' group [3] needs calcium supplementation in the drinking water to create a 0.1% calcium diet.

 

 

Maybe you can even create 5 groups;

All mice are fed dehydrated beef and fruits (no olives, figs, berries, oranges, kiwi) only, and drinking water. (no nuts because of their high calcium contents)

Calcium will be added to the drinking water of all mice except for the 'very low-calcium' group.

 

The calcium contents of the diet of the 'very low-calcium' group [1], needs to be about 0.01 to 0.015%.

Group [2] (low calcium), needs a little calcium supplementation in the drinking water to create a 0.02% calcium diet.

Group [3] (medium), needs calcium supplementation in the drinking water to create a 0.04% calcium diet.

Group [4] (high-calcium), needs calcium supplementation in the drinking water to create a 0.1% calcium diet.

Group [5] (very high calcium), needs calcium supplementation in the drinking water to create a 1% calcium diet.
