Calcium, Milk, Alkalizing.. and colorectal cancer

The net allows me quite a different impression of information.

Information is no longer the preserve of the powerful, drip fed to the masses. It is now the opposite. It's something that is now so available that we get it within minutes of its release and in my case, I've been able to watch it 'mutate' as it spreads across the web. Such is the case of this article on the role of calcium in colorectal cancer. The article originally came from the Archives of Internal medicine but I found it on the site of a vitamin company, NutraIngredients.com in Europe.

However within 24 hours the milk lobby had grabbed the main chance and converted or -shall we say - utilised it - to sell people on drinking more milk. What will it 'morph' into next?

And here am I looking at the article and wondering what relevance it has to alkaline water, which provides a ready source of ionised calcium. Yes, I'm part of the problem - and the solution.
W are all on the same information highway,. Some of us are careful drivers, some reckless and some lane hogs.

Anyway, the article is still rather good, and especially relevant for Boomers. Here it is.
