But a study of 24,000 people aged between 35 and 64, whose health was tracked for 11 years, found that those who took the supplements had an 86 per cent higher risk of a heart attack. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12302397 [link to www.independent.co.uk] Ouch, I took cal supplements for 7-9 months. (working outside, dehydrated, cal helps prevent cramps.) |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14408911 [link to bodyecology.com] None of it works if we dont stop the bone loss. Like putting air in a leaky tire. Stop the leak first!

Oh yes, animal meats are saturated of animal hormones and they put the blame on proteins. Good study! |

If you can do this, then you have a better brain than I have. I'm lucky if I can remember what I ate two days ago. #2 People who have had health scares are more likely to take supplements. |
