"Calcification of arteries is often a silent process – no symptoms appear before it might be too late. An unexpected heart attack or cardiac arrest occurs – sometimes with fatal consequences.

"Norwegian women have one of the highest rates of osteoporosis in the world. Almost half of us can expect to get brittle bones within a few years. Much indicates that Japanese breakfast and a small vitamin are the solution."
Norsk Ukeblad, 2007, No 18
"It clearly shows that calcium reduces osteoporosis. Nevertheless: Norwegian women drink a lot of milk and still have more bones fractures than any other women in the world. The problem may be that we get too little vitamin K2."
