Calcium Supplements Questioned.
This study suggests problems with
calcium supplements in that they could be a factor in heart disease. The question
raised by Cordain regarding acid/base balance is that even
with supplements, the problems with bone health are not solved.
This study is perhaps another confirmation that there is more to maintaining bone health than just
calcium intake (since the calcium doesn't seem to be going to the bones but in the arteries).
And notice the irony of the natural food store banner in the photo accompanying the Yahoo News article. Calcium is one of the few supplements that doctors frequently suggest that older people should take! So it's not really in the realm of an alternative therapy.
