I found an online video segment today from ABC News with anchor Diane Sawyer discussing the recent issue of Calcium supplements. The video discusses the hearts issues that calcium can supposedly cause (which I have previously brought up in this blog). Sawyer soils the idea of taking calcium supplements for many by discussing a recent article on the damages calcium can do as well as interviewing Dr. Richard Besser, the ABC medical editor. Dr. Besser suggests alternatives to supplements and notes that exceeding the recommended amount of daily calcium could be the causes of the heart attack issues. I have provided the video below.

Sawyer Soils the Idea of Supplements

Wow, very interesting! I am constantly recommended by doctors to take calcium supplements, but this video makes it look so easy to get enough just from our food, and it sounds dangerous for older women to be taking these supplements since they are at an elevated risk for heart attack already just based on age....
ReplyDeleteI think this is a very interesting video, but calcium supplement can still be good for the person who is taking them. Calcium supplements are especially good for middle age women to help keep their calcium levels up. What people don't know about calcium is that they are probably eating a lot of it already from dairy products or some juices, like orange juice. Where this gets difficult I think is that would you rather have osteoporosis or major heart problems. So it is a toss up. Maybe taking just one calcium supplement will be plenty.
