Sands of Okinawa
According to Barefoot and the late-night infomercials,
the product works because of the sand from the
coral reefs of Okinawa, Japan, an island widely
regarded as one of the healthiest places on Earth.
"The Okinawans just happen to live on an
island of pure calcium
… and they dig up this coral sand and put
it in their food," he says in the infomercial.
"And they've been eating it for hundreds
of years."
But Dr. Bradley Willcox, a Harvard-trained physician
and researcher who has spent years studying the
amazing health of Okinawa residents, is dubious.
