The question as to whether a lack of calcium causes bone disease is still up for debate. For as long as I can remember the experts have been encouraging us all to take calcium suppliments, as well as drinking more milk & eating our broccoli, but recently new studies have shown that there is very little connection between bone disease and a lack of calcium intake. I say, keep drinking your milk & eating your veggies, but perhaps skip the expensive suppliments until more studies are done.
