Can't say that I'm surprised, since I've never been in favor of calcium supplements. Calcium possesses some very powerful attributes in the body, and it's potential effects should never be underestimated.

Thanks for the link. It sort of sounds as though the medical community is ignoring this one, because I hadn't seen that report either. Here's a link to the research abstract:

Elevated brain lesion volumes in older adults who use calcium supplements: a cross-sectional clinical observational study.
