Calcium Supplementation Linked to Dementia
1. “Women treated with calcium supplements had a higher risk of developing dementia (increased relative risk by 110%) and the subtype dementia with stroke (increased risk by 340%) than the women who did not take calcium supplementation.”
2. “The frequency of fractures was 40.8% in the group that received calcium supplements and 20.8% in the group that did not.” [Crazy, fewer fractures in women not taking calcium supplements
3. “Calcium supplementation might have direct toxic effects on vulnerable neurons, because the increased calcium levels may amplify ischemic cell death and worsen the outcome after cerebrovascular events.” [Key Point]
