The top four killers in the world: all related to MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCY
Because magnesium is so crucial to the functioning of the entire body, it stands to reason that low levels of this mineral would lead to serious, systemic issues.
TYPE 2 DIABETES: Researchers looked at 13 cohort studies with 536,318 participants reporting 24,516 cases of diabetes and found a significant inverse association between magnesium levels and Type 2 diabetes. In other words, where magnesium intake was up, incidence of Type 2 diabetes went down.
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE: In a similar meta-analysis of 16 studies and 313,041 individuals, researchers found that magnesium intake was also inversely associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease. Low magnesium is also the number one predictor of heart disease, even above cholesterol and saturated fat intake.
STROKE: The results of seven studies with 241,378 participants and 6,477 cases of stroke found that an increase in magnesium brought about a small but statistically significant decrease in the risk of stroke.
CANCER: In eight studies, increased magnesium helped bring about a modest decrease in the risk of colon cancer, but other studies have shown that more magnesium reduces cancer risk significantly.
