Calcium Supplements Increase Heart Risk


C


alcium supplements, usually taken to improve bone health, may increase the risk


of heart attack by as much as 30 per- cent, according to the findings of the Women’s Health Initiative, a 15-year research project established by the National Institutes of Health to ad- dress cardiovascular disease, cancer and osteoporosis. “If you take calcium supplements, you’ll build up excess calcium in your system that, coupled with mineral deficiencies and im- balances, can cause plaque in arteries, kidney stones, gallstones and more,” says Dr. Robert Thompson, co-author with Kathleen Barnes of The Calcium Lie: What Your Doctor Doesn’t Know Could Kill You. Instead, he recommends taking a trace mineral supplement, preferably in ionic form, whose electrical charge helps bond minerals with water, making the nutrients more easily absorbed. Such a supple- ment provides all needed minerals, including calcium, in the correct balance.

in check, Danish researchers have found that eating hard cheese is bet- ter for the arteries than consuming the equivalent number of calories in butter. According to their study, published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, when hard cheese accounted for 13 percent of participants’ daily calories, their LDL (bad choles- terol) did not increase. When the same individuals switched to consuming more butter, their LDL levels rose. The researchers were unsure what caused the re- sults, but noted that cheese contains a lot of calcium, which can increase the amount of fat excreted by the digestive tract.
