Vitamin Cautions Explained

Precautions exist for Folic Acid, Selenium, Calcium, Zinc, Beta Carotene, Vitamins A, B1, B6, B12, C, D, & E. Why there are so many DESIGN FLAWS in multi-vitamin formulas may be a mystery to some, but after discovering the new vitamin reality presented on this website, the mystery will disappear. 

Have you heard this before?

New large study research found an association between higher vitamin B6 (>35mg) and B12 (>20 mcg) intakes with 50% increased risk of hip fractures. article The reason is unknown, but theories are offered! ref 

FUN FACTS

Plants and trees take in CO2 from the atmosphere to help growth. As CO2 levels increase from the burning of fossil fuels, volcano eruptions, ocean water temperature changes, and melting permafrost, plants and trees have been busy growing faster and larger. In fact this fun fact has lead to the re-greening of many non plant areas of the planet. NASA over the last decade has been measuring this effect from satellites in space taking pictures. article

So far, this re-greening has impacted an area twice the size of the continental United States with new plant and tree coverage. This will significantly slow down any climate changes as this new green area growth will absorb quite a lot of future CO2 emissions. This gives Nations more time to make and implement non CO2 energy changes. article

The Sun is due to flip poles within a year. Have to wait and see what the effects will be from the increased release of electromagnetic energy coupled with this event. Were the Northern Lights showing up in lower altitudes recently a beginning? article

« AntiOxidants on Ovulation »

DateSunday, March 27, 2011 at 10:08AM

Another study mentioning why balance is so important in antioxidant loads. Too Much is potentially just as damaging as too little. While this is an animal study, it shows relationships of functions, hormones, and free raticals. Copied here from www.Ourfood.com:

"Antioxidants reduce women fertility

[3] A study of Shkolnik and colleagues 2011 stresses that ovulation is stimulated (by) the pituitary luteinizing hormone (LH). This process is related to inflammation involving oxidant radicals (reactive oxygen species ROS). In their study the authors found that antioxidants reduced the rate of ovulation in rats preventing the modification of the local tissue, which prepares the ovulation.

Progesterone production was also found to be reduced by antioxidants, together with up-regulation of genes by the LH hormone which were also significantly reduced. Oxidants on their turn, were found to be implicated in phosphorylation and activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and its downstream effector, p42/44 MAPK, essential elements of ovulation. More studies related to antioxidants supplements and its possible implication in reduction of fertility are needed. The authors concluded that the production of ovary oxidant radicals is essential to fertility and antioxidants may become a non-hormonal contraceptive."----
