Who should STOP taking D & calcium supplements
Posted On November 30, 2010
Apparently, according to this new research, almost everyone!!
Heres the article from Reuters

The scientists did a very simple thing. They looked to see whether we were getting enough vitamin D and calcium. With the exception of young girls (9-14), the answer is a resounding YES.
Thus we are not benefitting from taking these pills and, as they point out in the article, these supplements can also be bad for you.
So. Who should be taking these supplements? Anyone who can benefit from it. The problem is that the only ones benefitting from swallowing supplements are the people who are selling supplements.
There's your answer.
