I just came across an article that said: "Study: US Calcium Guidelines May Be Too High."
Calcium guidelines may be too high. Did you guys know that?
That's the thing. Nutrition isn't quite what it's making itself out to be. It's not much of a science yet.
But they have to put out something. They can't just say, "We don't know how much calcium you need. We're not sure." So they just went ahead and put a figure there. "You need 1000 mg." And now someone (I'm not sure who that someone is, because I didn't read the article) is telling us, "Hold the phone, buddy. Maybe it's not 1000 mg. Maybe it's 700."
The science of nutrition still needs to be doubted. The world has to give you guidelines and act like it knows something, even though it's not really sure. That's what's going on in some cases.
I think a lot of the governemnt's nutritional guidelines might be in that category. We're not 100% sure if people need to reduce their cholesterol intake, limit this or that, get this much vitamin D, etc. But if we don't know, we have to tell you something.
People want to hear something. There's a demand for that.
And maybe it's not just a semi-random figure. After all, people have financial motives. Money might be behind some decisions.
I'll bet you it's all a conspiracy. The dairy industry convinced us we need a lot of calcium. The original number was going to be 700--but a bunch of farmers got together and bribed the government. 700 became 1000. I'm pretty sure that's what happened--and I'm not happy about it. This is ridiculous. We don't know what's going on.
I don't know. Should I be really skeptical of everything I come across now? Now that this whole calcium story is out? What am I supposed to think? Someone's telling me to do this, or the government's telling me to do that. How do I know it's not a conspiracy? How do I know the dairy industry isn't behind it?
And who knows what else they're behind. I'll bet the whole war in Libya has something to do with the dairy industry. Those guys will do anything to sell more milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, etc. I can't trust anyone. That's the bottom line here.
I'm learning so much by reading headlines. Imagine what would happen if I actually read the articles. I'd be a genius.
Or maybe it's a government conspiracy. We can't let the people know that the government isn't omniscient--so we have to pretend like we know. The government has guidelines. "Of course we have guidelines. We're the government. We know we know everything. You should trust us."
Bullshit. From now, on I'm not going to have any calcium. I'm going to eat every nutrient but calcium. I don't trust calcium. It's probably a brainwashing agent. They probably added that element to our environment in the first place, because they knew that we'd eat it and that we'd be easily controlled and influenced. That's exactly what is going on right now.
Maybe it's not calcium. Maybe they want us to believe it's calcium. Maybe it's something else. Who knows what it is? It could be Dancing with the Stars, or whatever is popular right now.
Who the hell can I trust? This is just eye-opening for me. I'm really happy I came across that article. Let me just find the source. "Time.com: Top Science and Health Stories." I'm going to subscribe to that with Google Reader. Although I don't know if I can trust Time.com. Especially the Top Science and Health Stories. And maybe Google Reader is in on this, too. The whole RSS system is just a conspiracy.
The Calcium Conspiracy. You heard it here first. No--you probably didn't. Bcause again, it might be in the article. I haven't read it yet. I'm pretty sure the government wants me to read it. It's all part of a conspiracy.
