"New research suggests that if you take the drugs long term — that’s
for more than a year — the risks can include infections, cancer and
heart disease and a dangerous deficiency of some vital minerals and
vitamins.

"Recently both the U.S. and UK drug watchdogs have issued new warnings
about very low magnesium levels in people taking PPIs long term.

"Magnesium is vital for building bones, as well as for proper working
of nerves and muscles which can go into spasm if they aren’t getting
enough.

"It’s also essential for heart health and helps control blood pressure
and blood sugar.

There's a good chance that a low-carb, paleo-style diet can make it
possible for you to stop taking these pills, or prevent you from
experiencing acid reflux, etc., in the first place.

So please don't reach for the pill bottle! A proper diet can, more
often than not, eliminate the need to do that, with the added result
being similar to taking an effective anti-cancer, anti-heart disease
pill (if reducing your chances of getting cancer or heart disease is
important to you}. And why wouldn't it be?
