CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY.... Father continued to drive over the North
Fork of the Shenandoah River Bridge and then Mother said out loud, after
looking at the sign to the right, "there's a curve to the left."
And then a mostly a straight-a-way as Father floored the gas pedal and on in to
the small town of Mt. Crawford.
A slight curve to the right passing the old iron bridge and then Father surprised
us by taking a slight left to a road following the river and short distance to the
to the short cut that took us from Mt. Crawford to main road again of
State Route 257.
At the end of that road, Father hung a quick left, going up and down the small
hills of the roads and a dog-leg to the right near the end. And, maybe a fifty
yard distance, Father slid to a stop at the end of the shortcut road and the
intersection of State Route 257....

Will Calcium Supplements Harm Heart?
Tuesday, 25 Oct 2016
"Calcium supplements, taken within recommended levels, can be considered
safe for the heart, according to new guidelines.
Over the past decade, a number of studies have raised questions about
whether calcium supplements might contribute to heart disease or stroke.
Just this month, a study of U.S. adults found that supplement users were more
likely than nonusers to have plaque buildup in their heart arteries.
(Calcium is a component of artery-clogging "plaques.")
But a new research review, commissioned by the National Osteoporosis
Foundation (NOF), has come to a different conclusion.
On balance, the review found, the evidence doesn't support a connection
between calcium supplements and heart disease or stroke.
As long as people don't go overboard, calcium supplements should be
considered "safe from a cardiovascular standpoint," say the guidelines
from the NOF and the American Society for Preventive Cardiology.
Getting calcium from foods such as milk, yogurt and tofu is still preferred,
the groups say.
Supplements can be used to "fill any gaps" in a person's diet, said Taylor
Wallace, one of the authors of the guidelines. Wallace is an affiliate
professor of nutrition at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va.
The guidelines and the evidence review are being published online Oct. 24
in the Annals of Internal Medicine. The NOF funded the review through a
grant from Pfizer Consumer Healthcare, which makes calcium supplements.
Wallace said he thinks the research review "puts the nail in the coffin" when
it comes to the calcium/heart disease issue.
Not everyone agreed, however.
The review confirms that calcium-rich foods are safe for heart health,
according to Dr. Erin Michos. She's the associate director of preventive
cardiology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore."

MY OPINION
I just started taking a calcium supplement in pill form about a month ago
and then I read an article on calcium being the culprit 'Calcium (being) a
component of artery-clogging plaques.' So I quit.
1. I believe that calcium does contribute to the clogging of arteries.
2. The study that said calcium does not contribute to the clogging of arteries.
was funded by the drug company Pfizer.
3. Pfizer makes calcium supplements.
4. Pfizer paid the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) under the table to
lie about the research.
What Are the Best Sources of Calcium?
By Monica Reinagel, MS, LD/N, CNS, Nutrition DivaMarch 15, 2011
What are the Best Sources of Calcium?
"We hear a lot about the importance of getting enough calcium. And you
may have gotten the impression that getting the recommended amount of
calcium from diet alone is next to impossible and that calcium supplements
are essential. I don’t agree. As I’ll show you in a moment, it’s really not that
difficult to get the required amount of calcium from foods. I also think
you’re better off getting your calcium from real foods than from supplements
because calcium-rich foods tend to provide other nutrients that enhance
your body’s ability to absorb and use calcium.
Which Foods Are High In Calcium?
Canned Fish. Fish such as sardines and canned salmon are great sources of
calcium because they contain tiny bones that are so soft you’d never notice
them, but that are a potent source of calcium. As a bonus, these fish are also
among the few natural food sources of vitamin D. Getting tons of calcium is
not nearly as effective as simply getting the recommended amounts of
calcium and Vitamin D.
Benefits of Vitamin D
Dairy Products. Dairy product such as milk and yogurt are not only high in
calcium, the calcium they contain is extremely well-absorbed. Dairy products
are also good sources of magnesium and phosphorus and most are fortified
with vitamin D. All of these help your body make the best use of calcium.
Each eight ounce serving of milk or yogurt contains about ¼ to 1/3 of your
daily calcium needs.
Cultured Foods
Tofu. Vegans and the dairy adverse need not despair. Tofu can be an excellent
source of calcium because it’s usually made with calcium sulfate as a natural
setting agent. Tofu is also a good source of protein, which enhances calcium
absorption. A half cup of firm tofu can provide half a day’s supply of calcium.
Cabbages. Vegetables in the cabbage family, including broccoli, kale, bok
choy, cabbage, mustard, and turnip greens are all good sources of calcium
that’s very bioavailable. Cabbages and leafy greens are also good sources
of folate and vitamin K, nutrients that also help build strong bones. A half cup
of Chinese cabbage or a cup of bok choy provides almost as much absorbable
calcium as a glass of milk.
Fortified Foods. Fortified orange juice or soymilk is sort of a cross between
getting calcium from a food source and taking a supplement—the calcium
is not food-based but at least you’re taking it with a food, which can enhance
your absorption.
Everything Else. Also, keep in mind that even foods that aren’t super high in
calcium, such as grains, nuts, seeds, and other vegetables, still contribute
to your overall intake. The typical American diet—which, as you know,
doesn’t come any where close to the recommended amount of
vegetables—still manages to provide an average of 250 milligrams of
calcium a day, not counting dairy products.
Why Spinach is Not a Great Calcium Source
Although spinach has a lot of good stuff going for it, it’s not a great source of
calcium.
Not all food-based calcium is well-absorbed. Spinach, for example, contains
quite a bit of calcium but it also contains a lot of oxalates. These natural
compounds bind with calcium and make it very difficult for your body to
get at it. Although spinach has a lot of good stuff going for it, it’s not a great
source of calcium. In fact, because the oxalates in spinach can bind to the
calcium in other foods as well, it can even keep you from getting as much
calcium from the foods that you eat with it. Unless you never eat calcium-rich
foods except with spinach, this is not a big deal—just something to keep in
mind.
Who Should Worry About Calcium?
Getting enough calcium is important for everyone, but it’s especially critical
for those in their teens and twenties, because these are the years when you
are accumulating bone density to get you through the rest of your hopefully
long and active life. Ironically, this is the one group that’s most likely to be
coming up short in the calcium department.
How Do You Know if You’re Getting Enough Calcium?
Adults need about 1000 mg of calcium every day. Adolescents, women
over 50, and men over 70 need about 1300 mg. To get a rough estimate of how
much calcium you’re getting, start with 250 milligrams as your baseline.
Add 250 mg for each serving of dairy, canned fish, tofu, Chinese cabbage,
or fortified orange juice. Give yourself another 100 for any other cabbage
family vegetables. It’s not important that you get exactly 1000 mg of calcium
every day—if it’s averaging out to your recommended intake, you’re
probably getting all the calcium you need.
Should You Take a Supplement?
As I’ve said, I think that getting most if not all of your calcium from foods is
ideal—and completely doable. That said, if your diet is falling short, you
might want to take a supplement. But you only want to take as much as you
need to fill the gap between your dietary intake and your recommended
intake.
If you’re averaging 750 mg of calcium every day, there’s no need to
take 1,000 or 2,000 mg of supplemental calcium. A 250 mg supplement
would do the trick. As I explained in this article, there’s really no benefit
to getting more than the recommended amount of calcium. Even if you’re
afraid that you might not have gotten enough calcium when you were
younger, taking extra calcium now unfortunately won’t make up for your
misspent youth. In some cases, it could actually cause problems.
If after all of that, you do decide to take a calcium supplement, I’ve included
three bonus tips about calcium supplements in my newsletter this week.

The Cleveland Indians baseball team beat the Chicago Cubs 6-0 to take
a 1-0 game lead in the baseball World Series.
In the same city (Cleveland), the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the New York
Knicks 117-88 after winning what may be called the basketball World Series
last season. Before the game started, the 2016 championship banner was hung
from the ceiling and all players were presented with championship rings,
purchased by the owner and worth thousands. Other rings, and not as costly,
were presented to everyone who had a hand in the championship season, to
include maintenance, security, food workers, etc.
MY OPINION
The city of Cleveland has come a long way since....

Another word by the weather forecasters, "soaker."
We've had "wash out" and "passing sprinkle" before and don't see why they can't
just say that's it raining or the sun is shining,
Seems simple to me.
