research has reported that excess intake of calcium from supplements
has been linked to an increased risk for cancer-related deaths.
The
report found no mortality benefits associated with any reported dietary
supplement use among nearly 31,000 adults in the National Health and
Nutrition Examination Survey.
They
found that excess calcium consumption was associated with increased
risk for cancer-related deaths. Calcium supplements were specifically
implicated in the excess of mortality, according to the investigators,
with a rate ratio of 1.53 (95% confidence interval, 1.04-2.25) for
intakes of 1,000 mg/day versus no intake.
