Karl Michaelsson from Uppsala University in Sweden said, "It is time to revisit recommendations to increase calcium intake beyond a normal balanced diet. Ever increasing intakes of calcium and vitamin D recommended by some guidelines defines virtually the whole population aged over 50 at risk. Yet most will not benefit from increasing their intakes, and will be exposed instead to a higher risk of adverse events. The weight of evidence against such mass medication of older people is now compelling, and it is surely time to reconsider these controversial recommendations."
The study is published in The BMJ.
