| If you look to supplement with magnesium, it is nearly impossible to decipher all the combinations and sources. Names like magnesium oxide, carbonate, citrate, malate, chloride, glycinate, sulfate, taurate, gluconate, phosphate, glutamate, l-threonate, etc., are a few of the types of magnesium you will face at the store.

Dr. Dean, who is an expert on magnesium supplementation states, "On the advice of neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock, I do not recommend magnesium aspartate or magnesium glutamate because they can break down into the single amino acids aspartic acid and glutamic acid, which can act like dangerous excitotoxins in the brain...1000 mg of magnesium citrate, the most commonly used form of magnesium, offers 125 mg of elemental magnesium--the other 775 mg is the citrate component."
What all this means, is you don't get as much magnesium in these supplements as you think you get from reading the label. It can be very deceptive. For more information on excitotoxins, see

Dr. Dean states: "Personally, when I take magnesium l-threonate, I get the laxative effect, which means to me that it is not fully absorbed at the cellular level. Also, most capsules of magnesium l-threonate contain less than 50 mg of elemental magnesium. I would have to take about a dozen capsules a day to meet my magnesium requirements, but I would never get past 1 or 2 capsules because of the laxative effect."

Kitchen cooking oils will not last forever. Depending upon the oil, it can go rancid in a matter of months or a few years. You don't want to cook with rancid oil because it smells like wet socks and the living components have lost their vitality. But the good news is, expired oil won't hurt you. There is no water in it, so no mold can grow to make it rotten and dangerous. It can still be used for creative applications. According to the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service, “Vegetable oils have many good natural properties including good lubricity, good resistance to shear, a high flash point, and a high viscosity index.” These qualities make them quite versatile in a number of applications. You might consider keeping your old oil rather than throwing it out. Recycling expired oil could prove to be a valuable asset in emergency situations.
