    High Blood Pressure Linked to Dementia

    "This is a silent disease in the brain," says lead researcher Dr. Lewis Kuller of the University of Pittsburgh. "It's evolving over time and it leads to very bad outcomes."

          Wouldn't taking all of those vitamins and supplements every day ultimately destroy your liver and kidneys?

              How does taking non-toxic mostly water soluble substances do harm?

                  I take assorted vitamins and minerals once in while, but my routine has always been inconsistent.

                  I've also taken a multiple vitamin on an empty stomach in the past, which made me really sick, like being poisoned.

                  They say many vitamins (like A and D for example) as well as many metals (zinc, iron etc) and calcium supplements, build up and can cause liver problems and kidney stones, so I've been taking less nowadays.

                  Once in a while I'll take a multivitamin, a folic acid supplement, and an occasional zinc tablet if I feel a cold coming on, but never on an empty stomach.

                  I guess if all of your suggestions are water soluble it should be safe.

                      "Common sense has long held that consumption of too much calcium could promote the development of calcium kidney stones. However, current evidence suggests that the consumption of low-calcium diets is actually associated with a higher overall risk for the development of kidney stones.[2] This is perhaps related to the role of calcium in binding ingested oxalate in the gastrointestinal tract. As the amount of calcium intake decreases, the amount of oxalate available for absorption into the bloodstream increases; this oxalate is then excreted in greater amounts into the urine by the kidneys. In the urine, oxalate is a very strong promoter of calcium oxalate precipitation, about 15 times stronger than calcium."

                          Maybe, but I was taking a calcium/magnesium supplement on and off for a few years, and around 3 or 4 months ago I past my first kidney stone. It was not a pleasant experience!

                          The doctor said I needed to add lots more water and citrus to my diet - like lemon water, orange juice, etc.

                          Nothing about more calcium, but who knows.

                          Whatever we learn today is usually proven wrong tomorrow, and then proven correct again a year later and so on. Like coffee, nicotine, wine, aspirins, etc. good for you one day, bad the next, and then repeat.

                                      Actually excessive sitting is another alleged contributor to kidney stones too - good point!

                                          Yeah, eggs, milk, and cheese are all items on that ever-changing "good for you today, bad for you tomorrow" list.

                                                      Even then, you would only reduce the risk of for example cancer.

                                                      Seen people live healthy as fuck and dying at age 35. Better let your body work and build some resistance.

                                                          Very good words there. Working for a job you hate is as bad as it gets.

                                                          Nothing beats self-employment!
