Several recent studies have continued to support the link between Vitamin D and positive health issues ranging from lung health and new asthma treatments to the prevention of breast and colon cancer. For example, the research shows that daily intake of 1,000 units of Vitamin D cuts the odds of getting colon cancer by about half, and the chances of breast and ovarian cancer by about one third.
Clearly, regular, sensible exposure to ultraviolet sunlight helps the body produce Vitamin D which is good for health. There is no risk of an “overdose” on Vitamin D from sunlight (although you might get sunburn!). What is less well known is that vitamin D supplements can be very harmful in some circumstances.
Vitamin D has many important functions, one of which is the absorption of calcium. This vitamin greatly increases absorption of calcium (from the food you eat) and puts it into the blood stream so that it can be used by the body.
The big danger is that if milk is consumed on the same day that vitamin D supplements are taken, the bloodstream is overwhelmed with calcium, and this can cause harmful calcification just about anywhere in the body. Calcification of the body is known to be at the root of much illness such as stroke, cancer and heart disease, to name but a few of the conditions.
When dairy milk is consumed, the casein protein in milk makes the bloodstream go acidic. This happens before all the calcium in milk gets to the bloodstream. The body reacts by pulling calcium from the bones into the bloodstream (calcium is very alkaline and this helps to neutralize the blood).
As the milk is gradually digested, calcium from the milk enters the bloodstream. As this happens, calcium levels in the blood become too high. In a kind of “knee-jerk” reaction hormones in the body get rid of the excess calcium in the bloodstream by ’storing it’ it in different parts of the body, leading to harmful calcification and illness.
Problems are made worse if vitamin D supplements are taken on days that dairy milk is consumed. This will increase further the amount of excess calcium that accumulates in the bloodstream. Doctors call this ‘hypercalcemia’, a known medical condition that can result in a variety of health problems. It is important, therefore, to avoid consuming dairy milk and vitamin D on the same day.
To avoid the health problems associated with hypercalcemia and harmful calcification it is important to never take vitamin D supplements on days that dairy milk is consumed. An ideal solution is to switch to non-dairy milk which is far more delicious and nutritious than dairy milk. If non-dairy milk is not readily available, you can easily make your own milk at home from a variety of ingredients that can be stored or frozen.
