SuppVersity - Nutrition and Exercise Science for Everyone: Combination Therapy With Calcium and Vitamin D - A...: Two reasons this may work for Batman, even if it does not work for you: (1) He's probably D-ficient, (2) Bats are closer related to ro...
Bottom line: For the above reasons I am highly skeptical of the scientists conclusion that targeting Ca 2+ /calpain/caspase-dependent pathway of cellular apoptosis vitamin D and calcium supplementation "can represent an effective and affordable approach to the prevention and treatment of obesity".
How many post-menopausal women got obese on (albeit usually lower-dosed) vitamin D + calcium regimen? How many people do you know who have been taking 10,000IU/day of D3, when the vitamin D hype climaxed while getting plenty of calcium from their diet who lost body fat? None?
Well, me neither and that's why I think the most important think to remember about this study is that
you'd better be skeptical when someone else cites it to convince you that vitamin D3 and calcium were "slimming aids", "fat burners" or whatnot.
