Heart Disease and Low Magnesium

According to A. Rosanoff, Ph.D. of the Center for Magnesium Education and Research, "The most important marker for impending heart disease is a low magnesium to calcium ratio (Mg:Ca) in the cells. All the usual markers (or risk factors) for heart disease e.g. high total cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol, high LDL cholesterol, high homocysteine, high C-reactive protein, syndrome X with its high blood sugar, active type-II diabetes and hypertension, can all be the result of low magnesium status." The vast scientific evidence backing this bold statement is summarized for the lay public in the book, The Magnesium Factor by Mildred S. Seelig, M.D. and Andrea Rosanoff, Ph.D.
