CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTS: MORE BAD THAN GOOD?
A review of several studies published this year from the U.K. found that using calcium supplements increased the risk of heart attacks by about 30%. According to the researchers, "given that calcium supplements only modestly improve bone density and prevent fracture, their role in the management of osteoporosis should be re-assessed." If you eat properly, you can get enough usable calcium from a well-rounded diet. Make sure that you exercise and have some sort of green, leafy vegetable every day, as this is nature's best source of minerals, including calcium, in a form that your body can and will be able to utilize.
