I agree, it's really confusing. Saw that story that there is an increased risk for women and realized that I had already stopped taking my calcium supplements before the study results were released. Also decided to stop taking vitamins since there seems to be an increased risk for breast cancer.

Apparently that risk of heart attack or stroke is only from the supplements and not natural sources of calcium. Guess that means we're going to have to eat more ice cream....
