Osteoporosis Diet
Gut Bacteria and Calcium
A
remarkable new area of modern research is in the human colon. Here,
there are over 2000 species of bacteria and trillions upon trillions of
bacteria. They live and thrive in the colon and produce a large number
of health benefits. It is now known that when significant amounts of
certain vegetable fibers or dietary supplements reach the colon that the
very best bacteria grow vigorously. These thriving bacteria in turn
cause extra calcium to be absorbed through the colon wall.
