NOTE: Despite all of these massive
scientific claims regarding the health benefits of calcium to cancer,
blood pressure, kidney stones, bone fractures and menstrual disorders,
Barefoot making reference to these facts in his infomercial has been outlawed
by the FTC which refuses to accept any of the scientific substantiation.
