Worried about calcium supplements?

Yipes  - a recent study linked calcium supplements to increased risk for heart attack in older women. I don't think a single study is enough to change the world or anything, but it is somewhat disturbing - what with me and virtually every woman I know taking calcium supplements! I'm not in the same age group as the study participants, but still...I've been meaning to look up the actual research to see just how worried I should be.

In the meantime, the NutritionData Blog has some good points in this post:
