The results of the study make perfect sense to me. They aren't going to see good results unless they balance intake with magnesium and weightbearing exercise. So for me it isn't a question about reducing the recommendation on taking 1200 to 1500 mg of calcium every day, it is only a question of making sure I get calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and weightbearing exercise. I prefer to go to great lengths to get natural sunshine for the vitamin as much as possible because I think there might be some things we haven't discovered about natural sunshine that are good. I do know that recent studies show vitamin D is thought to be especially beneficial.
Unfortunately the outcome of the study is likely to be to encourage women to reduce their calcium intake instead. In that sense the study itself is detrimental, not helpful.
