If I understand things correctly, the calcium is not the root of the problem. In that video the indicate that dense calcium might actually be protective. The problem is the inflammation and plaque buildup in the first place. There may also be an issue with vitamin K2 deficiency as some of the best sources for K2 (free range eggs, meat & dairy from grass feed beef) have been lacking in the American diet for decades due to poor dietary advice and industrialized meat and dairy production. There are so many moving parts, so many changes in food over our lifetime. It is hard to know what the root cause is. Perhaps it is a little bit of many things. Recommendations to take calcium supplements might have been another little piece of bad advice.
