Taking calcium supplements may lead to increased chances for heart attacks, according to a study published in the British Medical Journal by Dartmouth Medical School professor John Baron. The study which was completed in collaboration with several other researchers at the University of Auckland and the University of Aberdeen began in 2007 and analyzed data from several decades of studies on calcium supplement trials. Even though the findings of this study imply that calcium supplements may increase health risks, patients should not stop taking the supplements which are often used as treatment for osteoporosis without consulting their doctor first, Baron said in an article on CNN.com.
