"Assessing the Impact of Vitamin D and Calcium Supplements on Women's Health"

TL;DR Summary
A 22-year study on vitamin D and calcium supplements found that while they may reduce the risk of death from cancer, they could increase the risk of death from heart disease. The study had limitations, including being funded by the National Institutes of Health and having a limited participant pool. Other sources suggest that these supplements may have benefits for osteoporosis and bone health, but could also pose risks such as kidney stones and increased heart disease risk. It's recommended to consult a doctor before considering these supplements and to focus on obtaining vitamin D and calcium through diet.
