What's good for bones is not necessarily good for the heart. That's the suggestion of research conducted at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, where scientists found that a meta-analysis of earlier studies revealed a 27 to 31 percent increased risk of heart attacks in women taking calcium without vitamin D.

The numbers grew more disturbing when researchers added in data from 13 unpublished trials involving almost 30,000 women, bumping the increased risk for heart attack up to 25 to 30 percent and, for a stroke, 15 to 20 percent.
