Heartburn pills taken by millions 'can increase risk of cancer and heart disease'
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/ar...m-effects.html "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? -- Dogman "I have approximate answers and possible beliefs in different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything" - Richard Feynman |
