You may have heard that "eating less fat and lowering cholesterol" can prevent cardiovascular disease, but Dr. Eric Berg has proposed a thought-provoking theory: the real problem may be "calcium buildup ," rather than fat itself. Although this theory is not widely accepted by mainstream medicine, it is worthwhile for Hong Kong people to understand and consider it .

🧠Core Theory: Calcium Accumulation and Cerebral Arteriosclerosis
· Calcification of cerebral arteries → loss of blood vessel elasticity → increased blood pressure → increased risk of stroke and dementia
· Calcification can obstruct blood flow to the brain and even cause aneurysms .
· Calcium channel blockers (antihypertensive drugs) are used to inhibit calcium activity .
· Magnesium can also lower blood pressure because it helps eliminate excess calcium .
⚠️ Potential risks of calcium supplements
· A study of menopausal women found that those who took calcium supplements had twice the risk of heart disease.
· Calcium buildup in arteries → arteriosclerosis → increased blood pressure → increased cardiovascular risk
· Excessive calcium supplementation may actually lead to stroke, heart disease, and dementia .
🧬Key Nutrients: Vitamin D3 + K2
| Function | Vitamin D3 | Vitamin K2 |
| Calcium absorption | Increases intestinal calcium absorption (up to 22 times) . | Transferring calcium from soft tissues to bones and teeth |
| Calcium regulation | Calcium distribution cannot be controlled alone | Remove calcifications from arteries, joints, kidneys, and other areas. |
| Lack of consequences | Insufficient calcium absorption | Calcium buildup can lead to arthritis, kidney stones, cataracts, breast calcification, etc. |
🥩The best source of K2 : the food you've been told to stop eating
· Grass-fed beef, grass-fed butter, full-fat cheese, egg yolks, cheese
· K2 is a fat-soluble vitamin that is found only in natural saturated fats.
· Low-fat or skim dairy products on the market contain almost no K2.
· Avoiding red meat and following a low-fat diet may actually lead to K2 deficiency and calcium buildup.
🧪The key to digesting fat-soluble vitamins: bile .
· Bile is secreted by the gallbladder and helps break down and absorb fat-soluble vitamins (such as K2 and D3 ).
· If your gallbladder has been removed or you have insufficient bile secretion , it is recommended to supplement with bile salts .
· Insufficient digestion → Even with sufficient intake of fats and vitamins, the body still cannot absorb them.
🧾Conclusion: Fat isn't the enemy; what we really need to control is "calcium distribution ."
Hong Kong people have long been influenced by the concept of "low-fat health," but the real cause of high blood pressure, stroke, and dementia may be calcium buildup . Starting today, a spoonful of grass-fed butter, a cup of full-fat yogurt, and a K2 capsule will help build a strong foundation for your blood vessels !
Stop being afraid of fat! Knowing how to choose and digest fats is the key to true health! 💪🧠
