A magnesium deficiency sets the stage for kidney stones, nervous conditions, depression, heart disease, hypertension, and high blood pressure. Taking in an equal amount or higher ratio of magnesium in relation to the right type of calcium (in foods or supplements), along with vitamin D, iodine, and boron, will enhance the absorption of calcium into the teeth and bones, where it belongs. Transdermal magnesium has been found to be very effective in this process. https:// elektralife.com.au/. Of course, various other nutrients also come into play.

Not too long ago, Harvard University conducted a study to find out what ages the body. Their findings revealed that the elevation of insulin, which is caused by the consumption of refined sugar/ carbohydrates, and drugs, including caffeine, nicotine, etc. is the culprit.
Last but not least, sugar is the most polluting crop in the world. The Everglades, in Florida, USA is the most threatened National Park in the USA, and it is from all the chemicals used on the production of sugar. Over a decade ago, taxpayers had to fork out a large chunk of the $360 million clean-up costs, even though private sugar companies were to blame. Wild life in these areas is still threatened from toxic pollution created from sugar production. In Hawaii, smoke from burning the sugar contributes to high incidences of asthma and other respiratory ailments. Toxic chemicals produced in sugar production, contribute to high rates of leukemia among children who live nearby. In Queensland, Australia, high amounts of pesticides/chemicals from sugar production and other industries are leaching into the ocean and threatening the Great Barrier Reef.
