The biggest killer, in the west, somewhat less so in Asia, is calcium overload. Basically, you need two atoms of magnesium to handle each atom of calcium. Our RDI is wrong and was determined in such a way to not allow the body excrete more than it absorbs, so once you stop growing and your bones fill up, it starts ruining your body both by calcifications, and by draining magnesium from tissues (as it is used up in attempts to excrete the calcium, but there isn't enough) This usually kills you by hardening your veins, which get consequently ripped apart by the pulse. When the wrong vein tears inside your hear or your brain, you die.


It is known that magnesium intake increases calcium excretion. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2488265/

Why isn't diet the best intervention for this problem? Especially considering the calcium/magnesium ratio in our diet is so unnaturally high, and other countries (where dairy is consumed much less) suffer much less often from this, and mainly die of cancer?
