Recent studies have shown that maybe not all supplements are a good thing.
"For the study,
published February 13 in the British Medical Journal, a team from
Uppsala University in Sweden analyzed self-reported data from 61,443
women over the course of 19 years. During that time, nearly 12,000 women
died, the majority from cardiovascular disease."
The highest death rate was among the women who were taking more than 1400mg per day. They were 2 times more likely to die than a women taking 600-999mg per day.
This is shocking news. I never would have thought that calcium was a bad thing, even in excess but apparently in all things too much is not good.
