Calcium intake and bone mineral density
By dferry23 on January 3, 2016
“Conclusions: Increasing calcium intake from dietary sources or by taking calcium supplements produces small non-progressive increases in BMD, which are unlikely to lead to a clinically significant reduction in risk of fracture.”

Read the study results here in The BMJ (formerly the British Medical Journal).
