Saw this on the news this morning:

The study, which followed nearly 24,000 German men and women between the ages of 35 and 64, found those *****gularly took calcium supplements were 86 percent more likely to have a heart attack than those who did not. Study subjects *****lied completely on supplements for their daily calcium intake were 139 percent more likely to have a heart attack.

Hmmmm interesting.  Thanks for posting this, I caught a tiny bit of it on the news but not the whole story.  Wonder what our Dr.s or Nuts will have to say about this?

I was concerned about this, since I was told after surgery I would have to start with vitamins, calcium and I have heart issues.  Waiting for a MIBI in order to clear for surgery.  According to my EKG I have had a heart attack but unaware while having it. 
Thanks
