@mahonlye , good for you! My doctor has not caught up with the new findings, so he tells me no, just take calcium and D. Sadly, another study recently came out basically saying elderly women in nursing homes that were in the study, who took calcium from supplements were most likely to have heart attacks! I have quit my calcium supplements and am trying to eat foods high in calcium. Luckily, I like kale. Going to run this past my endocrinologist, who is a woman, next month. Just curious, is your doctor male or female?
