More than 75% of Americans are calcium deficient. Calcium deficiency is not only responsible for loss in bone density but plays a role in nearly 150 different degenerative diseases, including obesity, arthritis, fibromyalgia, acid reflux, high cholesterol, hypertension, allergies, cancer, and others.
Calcium plays a very important role in the body to neutralize acidic blood. When we eat acidic foods, like red meat, or we drink carbonated drinks, like sodas or alcohol, our bodies become more acidic. This causes Calcium to be leached from our bones and teeth.

"Calcium deficiency is the major dietary deficiency in America's children today," Dr. Duane Alexander, director of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development
According to statistics from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 86 percent of teenage girls and 64 percent of teenage boys are "calcium deficient"; in other words, they lack the recommended daily amount (RDA) of calcium, which is 1,300 milligrams, the equivalent of about four 8-ounce glasses of milk a day.
Carbs have gotten a bad rap in the last several years and there are so many 'fad' diets that tell you to completely eliminate them from your diet. However, some studies suggest that up to 95% of Americans are eating refined carbs! The fact of the matter is that whole grains are a very important part of your diet and prevent numerous health problems.
Most of us are busy people and try our best to eat healthy but often pick up packaged foods claiming to contain grains. I like to us a Multi Grain Cereal such as Quaker for baking muffins and cereals.
Healthy, whole-grain foods include the whole kernel and have not been processed. Research shows they can protect you from ticker trouble, diabetes, colon cancer, and possibly asthma and Alzheimer’s disease.
