calcium supplements
news on dietary supplements
Recognizing that the current data change the balance of risks and benefits associated with calcium supplementation, the researchers of the current study provide an analysis of real-world events based on currently available data. For each 1000 people treated with calcium supplementation for 5 years, there will be 26 fewer fractures. This will come at the cost of an additional 14 myocardial infarctions, 10 strokes, and 13 deaths. nasty tradeoff http://www.medscape....warticle/730536_3 Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free American and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 55 years. meep

The math is not hard
Break a bone VS 50% chance of dead
Or a bit over a third of a stroke. Strokes are damned nasty, dead is dead, and broken bones heal, so snapity snap, say's me. I'm not big on supplements in any case. Now, if the research changes from supplements to "eat your greens" and the results stay the same, then it gets more complicated. And I'm in trouble... ---------------------------------------
