Higher Calcium Intake May Not Lower Risk for Fractures and Osteoporosis: A 19 years prospective study of 61 433 women has revealed that highest quintile of calcium intake did not further reduce the risk of fractures of any type, or of osteoporosis, but was associated with a higher rate of hip fracture.
