Cardiovascular Disease- How to Reverse Heart Disease


 

High calcium intake and risk of cardiovascular disease:

An analysis of 388,229 individuals aged 50 to 71 years found that high calcium intake was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in men, but not women. At study enrollment, 51% of men and 72% of women were taking some form of calcium. The study found that compared to men not taking calcium, men with calcium intake of 1000 mg/day had an elevated risk of total CVD death (20% increased risk) and heart disease death (19% increased risk) but not cerebrovascular disease. In women, there was no association between calcium supplementation and death from cardiovascular disease or cerebrovascular disease. (12)
