Ha! Thanks. I actually enjoy this, wish I got paid for doing it. :)artteacher wrote:Geez Mike,
I don't mean to be a flatterer, but you're amazing. I started to research bile acid and gall bladder function, and gave up. All the medical terms made my eyes cross.
Heavy metals are something I never considered.
The last cookies I had were on Saturday night. Monday at 4pm the stomach "problems" started. Since I have a 30 hour transit time, that's about what would be expected, I guess.
Are calcium carbonate, copper, magnesium, zinc, boron, or any of the other ingredients in Caltrate 600+ known to be chelaters, also? Chelate means "to bind" or "buffer"?
Love, Marsha
Hmmm... I'm not sure if those are chelators or not but I don't think that they are. I read that Calcium Citrate was, but now I'm not so sure. I'm going to have to read more.
Yes, Chelation means binding a chelator to a metal ion.

One Chelator that I just noticed was Citric Acid. Strange.
