Acid Reflux and Antacids

I keep coming across more reports on the problems caused by antacids.

Antacids can backfire and lead to

more

instead of less heartburn.

When there is not enough stomach acid to properly break down food, the lower esophageal sphincter may weaken and make reflux and heartburn more likely to occur.

Increased cholesterol is another problem.
The liver needs protein to create HDL -good cholesterol, however antacid use decreases the bodys ability to thoroughly digest protein, which in turn reduces its ability to make HDL.
Instead, with less quality energy, the liver produces LDLs, or bad cholesterol, putting people at risk for heart disease.

So think again before popping that next antacid pill!
