I take my hat off to Rob Thomas at www.WaterFYIhttp://www.waterfyi.com/uncategorized/healthier-reverse-osmosis-systems/. He is a master researcher and puts things down in ways most people can understand. That's why his latest article entitled "Healthier Reverse Osmosis Systems" really got me going when he quoted the following:
“Plant-derived foods that contain the chemicals oxalic acid or phytic acid inhibit calcium absorption by binding the mineral in your intestines. Bound calcium cannot be absorbed. Foods that contain a high concentration of oxalic acid include spinach, collards, radishes, beet greens, amaranth, carrots, lettuce and sweet potatoes. Concentrated amounts of phytic acid are found in nuts, seeds, beans and whole-grain products”.
Let it seep in for a minute.. it is saying that many of the staple vegetables that comprise an alkaline diet.. spinach, collards, beet greens, actually bind ingested calcium so it can't be taken up. So to me that means that a straight alkaline diet may have a problem in that it does the opposite of what we want it to. Uh Oh.
His article dispelled another marketer's myth - that you cannot take up inorganic minerals. Supplement makers have been riding this one all the way to the bank for years, but it's simply untrue. You can, and do take up inorganic minerals every time you drink a glass of mineral water. that's why alkaline ionised water does such a good job at getting that (relatively) small requirement of alkaline minerals topped up in your body. It's delivering inorganic minerals.
Definitely worth a read!
